Well I don;t like it either BUT..<br>(1) Israel put up with all those suicide bombers 6 months back <br>(2) tried to make peace<br>(3) gave up territory<br>and Hezbollah just pushed them too much. and they figure if they do a little retaliation, Syria and Iran will just rearm them and it'll be the same old BS<br>.. so they're putting their feet to the fire.<br>they did warn citizens in S Lebanon to evacuate.<br>That doesn't excuse any citizens getting killed, but they at least they did give warning which many terrorist groups like Hezbollah DON'T.<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

If it'll make you happy, I think the solution is to turn Israel and Lebanon into big sheets of glass. Can't have either side killing anyone if they're all dead.<br><br>Oh, and frankly human life is not precious or special. If it was, there wouldn't be so damned many of us. The world is a violent place, wake up and smell the coffee. Kill or be killed is how it is, and how it always will be.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!<

(like we didn't pickup on that, pal)<br><br>but in your Rovean, lopsided photo-ops ... how many Israelis have been killed... how many Israeli children on all those buses and markets that they bombed a few months back? huh... think the Israelis have had no casualties ?<br><br>I don't like killing of ANY innocent civilians either side... and I think the only solution will come when the Palestinians have a home. But too many extremists like Hezbollah and those supported by Syria and Iran ill always "stir the pot " to prevent any peaceful solution. <br><br>And Iron Chef, you're defending Hezbollah's actions ??<br>What would you (oh bizarre one) have Isreal do with these terrorists- kiss their azz?<br><br>I'll give the Israelis one other thing- they have on uniforms= idenity, ...they don't hide behind the skirts of innocent citizens like a bunch of stealthy cowards like the terrorist groups do !! They come straight at ya and you KNOW who you're fighting. That takes courage.<br><br><br>David (OFI)<br>

<br>Despite not having 'links' even Lebanese school children understand the basic concept<br>of Israeli jets dropping bombs on buildings and the destruction is causes.<br><br>Notice how the bombs drop on the buildings where people live and not on<br>military targets such as the misile that is located outside of town.<br><br>[color:red]Allez Cuisine!
