Does this apply to us?

I began reading an article on the Winograd report, which analyzed Israel's attack on Lebanon last year. After a couple of paragraphs I began to have deja vu all over again.

...we are not talking about mere failures. We are talking about this country's continued existence being a true miracle. Because a country whose prime minister failed in exercising judgment, whose defense minister failed in doing his job, whose chief of staff made false presentations and contributed decisively to the flaws and failures, whose General Staff suffered from lack of creativity, and whose government voted without understanding what it was voting on – is a country that was abandoned.

This is a country without leadership. This is a country whose army disappointed it. It is a country whose government is pathetic and whose ministers are unworthy of serving in their posts.

Those Israeli editorial writers sure are feisty. I suppose the same tone would be considered radical here, or unprofessional.
