With his excellent skills in armchair debating, Cyrus articulately participates in the academic argument as to whether the 1967 6 day war was a "pre-emptive" strike or a "Zionist attack". Practically speaking, Israel is still around today. In a similar vein, not a very long time ago there was the moral outrage at Israel's "political assassinations".

Oh to go back in time a few weeks and have a helicopter gunship suddenly surfacing above the horizon and firing a missile through the window of a Del Ray Beach/Hamburg/Fort Lee apartment. Ah, but Cyrus, if availed of H.G. Wells' time machine, would find some objections to the morality of such an action and would abort the mission.
