“Insanity,” Albert Einstein is supposed to have remarked, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” It is difficult to understand what Israel hoped to achieve by assassinating Hamas deputy political leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut on January 2, or the U.S. by killing Iraqi Shia militia leader Mushtaq Taleb al-Saidi in the heart of Baghdad on January 4. But if the assassins expected the murders to diminish the power of Hamas, or deter attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria they clearly qualify as lunatics.
It all seems a facet of the US "Jupiter Complex", so named after the Greek god, who would hurl thunderbolts at the wicked from on high. It would seem driven by what remains of the democratic impulse in America, the need to satiate, at some level the masses, who are rather down on large body counts of US soldiers.
The US and Israel just want to bomb cities into the Stone Age, which will be rechristened the Rubble Age. Then they’ll criminalize the rubble throwers, bunker bomb them, and eventually build fortified settlements protected by death squads.

Insanity -- and barbarity. It's not their freedoms that makes so much of the world hate them...
From the Israeli point of view, the wars on Iraq and Libya were a great success.
