(Ha'aretz) Amir Oren - The costs of the attack on Yassin should be measured against the benefits, and the damage that would be done by not going ahead. The life spans of many Israelis were much longer when Yassin was in Israeli detention. The paralysis in Franklin Roosevelt's legs did not prevent him from being the commander-in-chief of the American forces during World War II. Yassin was not merely a spiritual guide with physical limitations, but also the military commander. The members of the political and military chain of command are more (and not less) justified targets than innocent civilians. The context is an effort to shape a Palestinian arena that will give the moderates a chance to overcome the extremists. It will be easier for Mohammed (Dahlan) without Ahmed (Yassin). 2004-03-23 00:00:00Full Article
