The WaPo's "despite" - shilling for the great satan

i think it was just the other day, we were talking about "enablers..." the addiction therapy verbiage and analogies become more fitting every day... the wapo even puts it in caps so we can't miss it... (the boldface is mine...)

DESPITE THE terrible bloodshed in Lebanon and Israel over the weekend, including the tragic death of scores of women and children in the village of Qana, the United States, Israel and the Lebanese government continue to seek the same outcome to the war. That is the removal of Hezbollah's militia from the Lebanese-Israeli border as well as steps toward its disarmament; the deployment of the Lebanese army in the south; and the extension of the Lebanese government's sovereignty to all of the country's territory. Despite all the rhetoric about an immediate cease-fire and the predictable focus by media outlets around the world on Israel's mistakes and excesses, every party in the Middle East other than Hezbollah and its Syrian and Iranian sponsors believes that a resolution to the crisis that fails to achieve those conditions would be a catastrophe.

so, the message is, "DESPITE" all that horrible stuff, what's happening is right and just... i hope whatever anonymous wapo editor penned that horrifying opening paragraph, at some point has to come face-to-face with the full context of his/her words...
