Some facts and figures on the cost of this 'war'<br><br>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5257128.stm<br><br><br><br>[color:red]Allez Cuisine! Bang a gong, it is on</font color=red>

So you missed my point - HOW FAR BACK DO YOU WANT THE JUSTIFICATION TO CONTINUE TO???<br><br>Every piece of violence begats another and another and another. You cannot have peace if the warring factions do not wish to let bygones be bygones but always demand retribution before they'll consider peace.<br><br>You can keep stepping back until you reach the big bang - you will always find the justification for either side to conitnue a conflict. Hezbollah didn't NEED to capture the soldiers as bargaining chips, but they chose to do it. Like Watcher said<br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>There have always been other ways to resolve issues.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>But neither side in this conflict wishes to take heed of that little pearl of wisdom, and so the mess continues. Hezbollah continues to play the western media like a cheap fiddle. The government/people of Lebanon allow these "freedom fighters" to live and combat from their midst. And the Israelis overreact to an attack on their citizens and homes. I'm sorry but until someone over there sees some sense IC is just blowing smoke into a cat5 hurricane.<br><br>But of course we could always blame GWB for not going in to stop this conflict and then if he did, we can then blame him for getting young american soldiers killed by roadside bombs. Because no other country in this world seems to be stepping up to the plate to stop this either. The way I see it, standing on a table at the UN shouting "please stop shooting each other" isn't going to get you much more than a sore throat.<br><br><br>- This is gonna get pretty interesting. <br>- Define "interesting". <br>- Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna die..

Such is so:<br><br>And when I held out my hand<br>to let those begones be gone<br>on this forum<br><br>Steve again chose to slap it away...<br><br>How can we expect any different in the M.E. <br>with that sort of prevailing mindset in play?<br><br>::took time to recheck procedure<br>and make a few hand-made diagrams<br>of the screw-locations ...and to check<br>back here.... before unplugging.... c'ya::<br><br><br>

Jesus H Christ! It always has to come back to poor little you. Get over yourself already. Take a long hard look at the vulgarity you unleash on people around here (those who's legs your not humping, that is). Yeah. I'm the Israel poster boy. WAR WAR WAR!!! ALL I WANT IS WAR!<br><br>Yeah. Go check those screws. I daresay a few need tightening.<br><br>

You're equating conflict in the Middle East to your little tiff with Steve?!?! My you do have a persecution complex!<br><br><br>- This is gonna get pretty interesting. <br>- Define "interesting". <br>- Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna die..

Careful. Those images may have been reutered. <br><br>

You mean they might be Fauxtography?<br><br><br>- This is gonna get pretty interesting. <br>- Define "interesting". <br>- Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna die..

Yes. Even the NY Times retracted a front page staged picture yesterday. It is quite laughable and really makes much of the news/propaganda seem cartoonsish. <br><br>

Well, it can be very hard to tell the difference between an Israeli (or Jew) and a shark. Some clues: the Jew gets his chum wholesale; the Israeli just steals it outright; the shark has to be hand-fed. <br><br>
