I'm pretty much exclusively on team awesome, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

The fact that it was only and specifically Hezbollah pagers that were targeted makes it less terrifying IMO.

but I'm legit shocked by how a lot of folks are reacting, as if this is some sort of treacherous and major escalation...

I think there will be blow back on soft western targets for years. This episode is particularly badass/clever, but it will be viewed as a humiliation by others. There’s risk with that.
