Sgrena v. Hariri

Matthew Barganier weighs in on the shooting of Giuliana Sgrena and Nicola Calipari.

His point: It is unlikely that the US would have attempted to assassinate her because, even if we assume that the US military is morally capable of doing so, such an action would have too many drawbacks and too little benefit.

For the same reason, the attempts to blame Syria for the assassination of Rafik Hariri make no sense - or rather, the arguments that Syria killed him make no sense - that people who hate Syria wish to blame Syria makes perfect sense.

That is all.
