   I find it interested that people would condemn Israel while upholding those who either permit, encourage or turn a blind eye to the terrorists who help instigate the affairs of war between them. I am not a Jew nor an Arab. I have nothing to gain by supporting either group. I know there are excellent people in both groups and not so good people in both groups, just as there are in any group of people including you and me.

   I can only wonder what would be the attitude taken if a group of people decided they didn’t like your group and set on anillating your group, decided to begin setting fires on your lawn, then to your house? Would you seek them out and simply ask them to stop it. Perhaps you might. What then would you do if they continued, continued and continued, then made a pact to anillate your?

   What if the goup was Hamas and Hasbolla, and your were the Israelees? Talk has been cheap over the years by those who would like to see Israel destroyed. Action has not be forth coming in stopping the terroristic attacks on Israel nor the pack to anilate them.

   Hmmmmm!

   well.

   i don’t think that either side is more right than the other at this point. i think that israel reacted a bit harsh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reactions_to_the_2006_Israel-Lebanon_conflict it seems the world pretty much agrees).

   “What if the goup was Hamas and Hasbolla, and your were the Israelees? Talk has been cheap over the years by those who would like to see Israel destroyed. Action has not be forth coming in stopping the terroristic attacks on Israel nor the pack to anilate them.”

   honestly your entire comment could be viewed from either side of this conflict with complete clarity. i think this is the problem for a westerner as myself with no religion or ethnic relation to the events. I can’t identify with either side - however when i break it down in my head i see what you are saying. but i it doesn’t change if i were to say israel is right or the hezzbola were right. its all fucked.

   that was the point of my post - although probably it leaned a bit more towards the hezzbola side. because it is easier to be mad at BUSH and our government when it seems to be supporting movements that will lead to an escalation of this conflict. i don’t agree that this should be going down at all and would have loved to see the UN tell israel to chill out. not because i hate israel. but because i don’t want war.

   There is no such thing as proportional warfare. The point of war far is to Humiliate the opposition with SUPERIORITY. Just because you hate war doesn’t mean people should be fair. War is not fair. Israel tried to be fair but if you want to lets say kill a Jew for every Moslem that is killed The Moslems would win. Why? They’re population is so High that they can afford this “Symetrical” warfare that dilluded idiots considers. It was perfectly fair for Israel to burn Lebanon to the ground. Its Lebanon’s fault for turning there backyard into Terrorist land. This is the whole idea to what “Foreign Policy is” its to enforce that people keep there lawns clean. And as far as I know Israel can’t afford to be fair. They are always at the brink of extinction so why should they? Israel wouldn’t have to exist if the Arabs didn’t drove them out of Arabia During WW1 in the FIRST PLACE.
