Well there now you have it, Israel going on a rampage attacking everyone around them, and then they expect no one to retaliate, and whoever retaliates is deemed terrorist.
Well.....then tell the Hezbollah (sp) to stop placing their missiles on top of civilian apartment buildings and grow some chest hair and place them in military installations.
And tell the Lebonese government to controll their extremist groups. Allowing groups to place missiles on top of restaurants and apartment buildings isn't my idea of a strong and stable government
When you said this, Enigma, I couldn't help but be reminded of that interview they aired yesterday with a Lebanese Hezbolli (or are the Hezbollhists...I dunno). I couldn't help chuckle when he said "look at these buildings the Israeli planes have blown up, hiding way up in the sky. What we want is to fight face by face! Come fight us face by face!"
Meanwhile, Israel moves troops in last night (our time). Guess he's going to get his "face by face" wish.
"What is it I have against Microsoft, you ask? Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."

That face to face comment and "Israel are cowards" comment made me really angry when I heard that on tv because of the INCREDIBLE hypocrisy of that statment. If Hezbollah really wanted to fight face to face like they say they would they would be dead in no time flat. Hezbollah's terrorist tactics are supposed to be brave?
Who are these people?
Edit: That guy interviewed was one of "Hezbollah's press secrataries". Incredible.
Lebanon needs to police their people. That includes disarming, arresting and even killing of hezbollah. They do not do it. Lebenon is weak country that lacks the ability to control their people. They allowed thier citizens to to fire rockets across their border and did nothing about it. Israel is just cleaning house. The bottom line hte atmosphere in that region is rapidly becomming us or them....in the end either the terrorists will destroy Israel (very unlikely) or Israel will destroy the terrorists (very likely).
They way I see it, if my house was Israel and my neighbors to he right and left and across the street were all shooting at my house daily..I would eventually get so pissed that I would go into each of those house and kill everyone in them and I would not care in the least bit if innocent people in those houses died in the process...why? Because, my family > world's population. I would in a second slaughter 1000 school children if it meant the life of my son or daughter. Then again I would also gladly give my life to save 1000 school children.
Bottom line is that Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Iran want to destroy Israel. I give full support to Israel to massivley strike all these countries killing everything within their borders. This will ensure thier survival.
I think Israel totally deserves to be bombed by any muslim country. Why? Lets look back 40+ years from now.There was no Israel.What we call Israel today is nothing but Syria ( or the country israel conquered in the 60's , im not sure when exactly.) conquered by jews not without the help of the sorry, dieing USA hegemony. The terrorists in the first place are people whos country was taken away and now they are fighting to restore the independence of their homeland.
The jews didnt think that the muslim world would react so agressively when they were attacking the territory they now call Israel.Theres nothing more to it. Of course, of course there is always the media that tells you that terrorists are bad and israel backed up and armed by north america is good. Which of course is 100 percent false information.
Im not being antisemitic, im being realistic and i can tell you for sure that people who will criticise this post and object it are definitely non religious jews, very religious jews, people who support jews no matter what and of course people who are brainwashed by the north american media (controlled by the goverment) and dont try to think on their own.
I really hope that Israel will soon face final justice and withdraw from the Islamic Middle East to US of course.
If you find that im wrong i suggest that you read this post all over again and try to process it.
And dont say that im a nazi just because i used the word ''JEWS'' a few times, please.
All in all i believe in peace and i dont hate anything ar anyone.I wish you all the best.

Much like America our media is owned and run by zionists, but the people are waking up and soon israel will be made to pay the price they so richly deserve
Originally posted by baff However much you wish this to be the truth it isn't. Israel is the only nuclear power in the middle east. It can destroy every middle eastern city within 2 minutes of deciding it wants to. That's why you have been seeing proxy wars. No middle eastern nation can stand in a fight against Israel, so instead they support terrorist organistaions and sponsor them with money and weapons so that they fight so close to Israels borders that nukes will not be used. This keeps Israel militarily in check. Judgement Day for the Israeli's is The Apocalpyse for it's enemies. Right or wrong, good bad or evil, that's how it is.
Everyone will be tasting this apocalyptic event, no one will escape it, even muslims, everything on this earth will be destroyed, why? because it will hit the sun
and once everyone dies, including the muslims, jews, christians, Jesus, Anti-christ, you, me, the judgement day begins.
but btw, we will all die before the earth hits the sun.
i cant wait for the US to control the world! its going to be great. Just imagine all the poverity and stupidity that would rise. Its going to be great!!!!!!!!!
Not strictly true, Israel has pursued a campaign of creeping expansion into enemy territory for years now.
Clear a no-mans land out of Palestine to protect themselves and then a year or so later when no one is shooting, build on it.
Placing them in range of enemy fire again. The enemy is pretty pissed off that they just had their homes stolen, so they shoot at the Israeli's. So the Israelis, get the armoured bulldozers out drive into Palestine and clear a new no mans land out of Palestinian homes.
A couple of years later they settle it again. And so on.
Israeli's aren't saints. They are evil scumbags too. (Just like me).
.
But since Syria has been bullied out of Lebanon, there is a power vacuum that must be filled.
Take away anyones guns, and a new gunman will move in.
Syria used to keep that border quiet, but some smart alec decided Syria was evil and ought to withdraw. I guess that plan backfired.
So now Israel will have to police it.
To my mind this is a just a domino effect from the Iraq War. Welcome to the war Israel.

you know what amazes me? that Bush is still on the side of Israel. It's unbelievable. Maybe he doesn't know how to count...
Israel: a few dead soldiers, 2 kidnapped soldiers
Lebanon: 1 dead, 2 dead, 3 dead, 4 dead, 5, 6, 7, 8, ... 300+ dead the last count I saw.
To call Israel's action "disproportionate" is being way too nice on them, they've gone past that point, clearly crossing into the "murderous" area.
Don't get me wrong though, those who enjoy firing rockets across the border into Israel are fanatical fools as well.
Both sides need to be thrown in jail. Where the hell is a strong world police when we need one?
If this ever comes to a truce, those borders need to be FLOODED with blue heltmet troops. Not enough bluies? FORCE UN NATIONS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR NATIONAL TROOPS TO THE CAUSE! Change the UN rules so that it's compulsory for participating members to contribute troops to maintain stability is hotzones. Yes, u read it clearly. I want Portugal (my nation) to contribute up to 50% of its military power to this cause. Take my stupid tax money, I don't care! Actually, I do care! What the hell am I paying taxes fpr if not for good causes? Is world peace and stability not a good cause enough for you? It's beyond any other cause for me. And I want your nations to do the same as well. This is absurd, we need to take steps so that this never occurs again, there and anywhere on earth. This region is way, way too volatile for us to be playing around with politics.
What the hell was the UN set up for?? For fancy rhetoric under waving flags? Get these bellicose morons out of power, here, there and anywhere else! Enough!

I knew you listened to talk radio. You get your talking points from there and then come post them here don't you? My suspicions about your were right on the money.
You got the quote wrong though. That's not what they said on the radio today. They didn't say terrorists.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- We Americans like to think we're a pretty smart people, even when evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. And nowhere is that evidence more overwhelming than in the Middle East. History in the Middle East is everything, and we Americans seem to learn nothing from it.
President Harry Truman took about 20 minutes to recognize the state of Israel when it declared independence in 1948. Since then, more than 58 years of war, terrorism and blood-letting have led to the events of the past week.
Even now, as Katyusha rockets rain down on northern Israel and Israeli fighter jets blast Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, we simultaneously decry radical Islamist terrorism and Israel's lack of restraint in defending itself.
And the U.S. government, which wants no part of a cease-fire until Israel is given every opportunity to rescue its kidnapped soldiers and destroy as many Hezbollah and Hezbollah armaments as possible, urges caution in the interest of preserving a nascent and fragile democratic government in Lebanon. Could we be more conflicted?
While the United States provides about $2.5 billion in military and economic aid to Israel each year, U.S. aid to Lebanon amounts to no more than $40 million. This despite the fact that the per capita GDP of Israel is among the highest in the world at $24,600, nearly four times as high as Lebanon's GDP per capita of $6,200.
Lebanon's lack of wealth is matched by the Palestinians -- three out of every four Palestinians live below the poverty line. Yet the vast majority of our giving in the region flows to Israel. This kind of geopolitical inconsistency and shortsightedness has contributed to the Arab-Israeli conflict that the Western world seems content to allow to perpetuate endlessly.
After a week of escalating violence, around two dozen Israelis and roughly 200 Lebanese have died. That has been sufficient bloodshed for United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan and British Prime Minister Tony Blair to join in the call for an international security force, ignoring the fact that a U.N. force is already in Southern Lebanon, having failed to secure the border against Hezbollah's incursions and attacks and the murder and kidnapping of Israeli soldiers.
As our airwaves fill with images and sounds of exploding Hezbollah rockets and Israeli bombs, this seven-day conflict has completely displaced from our view another war in which 10 Americans and more than 300 Iraqis have died during the same week. And it is a conflict now of more than three years duration that has claimed almost 15,000 lives so far this year alone.
An estimated 50,000 Iraqis and more than 2,500 American troops have been killed since the insurgency began in March of 2003, which by some estimates is more than the number of dead on both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict over the past 58 years of wars and intifadas.
Yet we have seen no rescue ships moving up the Euphrates for Iraqis who are dying in their streets, markets and mosques each day. French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has not leaped to Baghdad as he did Beirut. And there are no meetings of the Arab League, and no U.S. diplomacy with Egypt, Syria and Jordan directed at ending the Iraqi conflict.
In the Middle East, where is our sense of proportion? Where is our sense of perspective? Where is our sense of decency? And, finally, just how smart are we?
do you really expect europe to send more white people with guns into iraq? havent we fucked it up enough?
white people in the region dont have much report, because we keep killing them.
i think it's 100% obvious why 95% of the 'wests' population wants to disassociate with us and britain.
it's because they dont want terrorists to bomb their cities because we were stupid enough to invade their country and try to steal their oil?
serious... does anyone need ask why terrorists resist our troops in iraq? it's because the last time the 'west' was there, we ousted millions of palestinians from their homes?
why should they trust us this time, we've already lied about the wmds, and we've got guantanamo, the pat act, abu graib, and a thousand other countless incidents behind closed doors that never surface.
use come common sense dobbs. only a dumbass would want to look to be in cooperation with america at this moment.

honestly dude , whos opinion is not made up from type of media, unless you are there, all your opinion can be based on is, news, heresay, newspapers, and blogs like this, thats why i stated what i did in my earlier post, it has all become background hiss, the ''norm'' so to say whenever you hear anything about mid-east,what else is there too do but throw yer arms up and say well wtf people, ok, go ahead and kill eachother, or be friends, im living my own life now.
killing terrorists... is comparable to shutting down a giant meth lab.
yippe yahoo victory!
but guess what? meth's street value just went up 300 times, and everyone and their mom is trying to get into the industry so they can become overnight millionaires.
every time we kill a terrorist, a civilian, a muslim, etc, we're killing someone with a mother, a father, a wife, and a family, with relatives and social connections.
inevitably, everyone is somebodies child, and if we havent properly demonized them like the way we do to criminals in this country, people are going to be disturbed that you killed them.
you instantly turn 100 people against you once you knock someone off, and who knows how many more are swayed just by listening to the plight of that persons relatives?
again, it's an inability to see a bigger picture, you either kill all of them, or you have a whole lot of converted terrorists.
but wait, that's a human rights abuse.... no wonder the us is trying to undermine the UN. once it's gone, it has responsibility to NO ONE, and thus can do whatever it wants to whoever.
anyone getting any of this, or is it just me who connects the dots?

You got the quote wrong though. That's not what they said on the radio today. They didn't say terrorists.
honestly dude , whos opinion is not made up from type of media, unless you are there, all your opinion can be based on is, news, heresay, newspapers, and blogs like this, thats why i stated what i did in my earlier post, it has all become background hiss, the ''norm'' so to say whenever you hear anything about mid-east,what else is there too do but throw yer arms up and say well wtf people, ok, go ahead and kill eachother, or be friends, im living my own life now.
playing eq2 and two worlds
killing terrorists... is comparable to shutting down a giant meth lab.
yippe yahoo victory!
but guess what? meth's street value just went up 300 times, and everyone and their mom is trying to get into the industry so they can become overnight millionaires.
every time we kill a terrorist, a civilian, a muslim, etc, we're killing someone with a mother, a father, a wife, and a family, with relatives and social connections.
inevitably, everyone is somebodies child, and if we havent properly demonized them like the way we do to criminals in this country, people are going to be disturbed that you killed them.
you instantly turn 100 people against you once you knock someone off, and who knows how many more are swayed just by listening to the plight of that persons relatives?
again, it's an inability to see a bigger picture, you either kill all of them, or you have a whole lot of converted terrorists.
but wait, that's a human rights abuse.... no wonder the us is trying to undermine the UN. once it's gone, it has responsibility to NO ONE, and thus can do whatever it wants to whoever.
anyone getting any of this, or is it just me who connects the dots?
