Elbowing somebody in the head in a clear out attempt is a foul, no?

He clearly feels someone there and puts his elbow above his head and swings as hard as he can. He may have known it was Harden but he knew it was somebody. Then he doesn't look back after he nails him? You can't feel that? Then he wants to start a fight instead of diffusing the situation.
I know you like the guy and I know you like to pick a side and fight to the death with it. It's your gimmick to fight the unpopular fight. I get that.
There is no way anyone can seriously defend what Artest did or say the punishment isn't fair.
