¿Excepción que confirma o deshace la regla?

¿Recuerdan aquella teoría de que "nunca dos democracias lucharon entre sí"? Por lo visto la regla tiene muchísimas excepciones. Ignorarlas, nos puede hacer caer en la falacia del accidente.

Otra cosa; un artículo Ze'ev Maoz en Haaretz sostiene que "la moralidad no está de nuestro lado"

What exactly is the difference between launching Katyushas into civilian population centers in Israel and the Israel Air Force bombing population centers in south Beirut, Tyre, Sidon and Tripoli? The IDF has fired thousands of shells into south Lebanon villages, alleging that Hezbollah men are concealed among the civilian population. Approximately 25 Israeli civilians have been killed as a result of Katyusha missiles to date. The number of dead in Lebanon, the vast majority comprised of civilians who have nothing to do with Hezbollah, is more than 300.

Worse yet, bombing infrastructure targets such as power stations, bridges and other civil facilities turns the entire Lebanese civilian population into a victim and hostage, even if we are not physically harming civilians. The use of bombings to achieve a diplomatic goal - namely, coercing the Lebanese government into implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1559 - is an attempt at political blackmail, and no less than the kidnapping of IDF soldiers by Hezbollah is the aim of bringing about a prisoner exchange.

La coherencia es bien remunerada en objetividad. Los que hacen el esfuerzo por recordar que, israelí o musulmana, una bomba sigue siendo una bomba, hacen un aporte indispensable a la razonabilidad con que deben medirse estos entreveros.
