If you want to make an omelette...

...sometimes you've got to break a few eggs.

Only, in this case the eggs are Lebanese citizens, and the chef is John Bolton, former American Ambassador to the U.N. To wit:

Former ambassador to the UN John Bolton told the BBC that before any ceasefire Washington wanted Israel to eliminate Hezbollah's military capability.

...

Mr Bolton, a controversial and blunt-speaking figure, said he was "damned proud of what we did" to prevent an early ceasefire.

Congratulations, Mr. Bolton. We all know that the U.S. is willing to use the indigenous peoples of other nations as pawns in its Monrovian quest for world domination, but to have one of our top diplomats actually come out and say it -- and with pride! -- is, well, priceless.
