Well like you said, were both watching the same news, but see two completely different things going on. How is this paradox rectified? Does anyone even want to bother rectifying this paradox?

time will rectify it righty dont worry

meh. All talk.

Radical Muslims use this as their tactics...

When we find cache's of Weapons in Mosques, where Women and children pray, as well as in their Homes, you are using them to hide behind.

And when the enemy goes after these people who use them to hide behind YOU blame the people going after them and not the ones hiding behind them.

Just one of MANY documented incidents to support this...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/i...egations_x.htm

Del Gaudio said he made a tough call after a roadside bomb killed four of his men in April. While securing the scene, he was shot at by a machine gun in a follow-up attack. When he aimed his weapon to return fire, he saw that the gunmen had a line of children standing in front of them and two men filming with video cameras. He held fire until the children moved out of the way but was shot in his hand, which was only inches from his face.

"Restraint almost cost me my life," he said.

That's nothing new, right? I mean, "radical Muslims" didn't invent these tactics. They're well known guerilla warfare tactics. They were used against the British in Malaysia - the only difference is that in that conflict, the Brits had the support of the local villagers. In this case, the Israelis don't.

Violence begets violence - I mean, one can't turn a blind eye to the 30:1 kill ratio, and the utter destruction of the Lebanese infrastructure. None of that stuff is necessary. The Israelis are making the same mistake Bushie made in going after Iraq instead of focusing on Bin Laden. And I daresay, they're going to get the same results.

If Israel were smart, she would send special forces teams to interdict and sabotage the weapons shipments through the Iran-Syria pathway. That way, Hezbolla would be disabled without all the unacceptable "collateral damage". The way things are going now, it's eventually going to lead to WW-3. Israel is never going to solve its problems with a mile-wide buffer zone, that much is painfully obvious. No, they're going to have to do the same thing we did to the Japanese, when we went "island-hopping" during WW-2, and we all know how expensive that was, and what a terribly brutal campaign it was.

Seems to me, that both sides really need to get a heads-up in this thing. As long as WE keep hurling accusations at one side or the other, and claim that either side is justified in this unnecessary violence, then we're just playing into the hands of those who want chaos and disruption. And no one in their right minds wants that. "Most" people just want to be able to raise their children in peace. You go ask anyone who lived through WW-2, what kind of a world that was. Especially the Europeans - my mom was in a neutral country in Europe during WW-2, and they still got bombed by both sides, and they still had rationing coupons for everything from shoes to petrol to eggs.

No sir, I'd prefer not to live in a world like that. And if I were you, I'd do my utmost to ensure that such a world will never exist again. This stuff only gets worse, never better. WW-3 is going to be a hundred times worse than WW-2, trust me on that one.

You're right...

At 30:1 the Israeli's would be WIPED OUT as the Muslims only lose some 150 Million of more than a BILLION, right?

Gives a whole new meaning to "Balanced" response, right?

So if the Israeli's can't do better than that, they are surely doomed.

Gaar

Oh God.... another gigantic NON SEQUITUR. There you go, talking about Muslims again.

Oh Lord, my head hurts. I need an aspirin.

Are you aware, that MSF is shipping in badly needed insulin and dialysis packs and other life-critical medical supplies? And they can't get through to where they need to go, 'cause the Israelis won't guarantee them safe passage.

Dude, Muslim blood is just as red as yours is.

What a mess. What a gigantic ugly freakin' mess.

Not sure how Kill Ratio is not relevant to War?

Also not sure how Muslim populations surrounding Israel is not relevant to their survival?

But it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand such things.

Gaar

Just consider the overall situation.. 2 soldiers were kidnapped and as a response hundreds of people were bombed to death and most valuable infrastructure destroyed..

Now you see it as some sort of victory that Israel didn't go any further.. WT*, really, WT*?

How can you see the outcome of this kidnappings in anyway postive.. Lebanon has been shattered.. This doesn't give any glory for Hizbollah.. They were the people pretty much starting all this!! Everything this story has signified is a total losage and destruction for the Lebanese people.. And you are gloating about it..

It is somehow tragic and revealing, that Hizbollah could see this as their victory..
