Because you can't logically understand that this is exactly what Hizbullah's presence in Lebanon has done to that country. No, because the phrase in question was about Israel handling Israeli radicals...Let's look at your incoherent sentence again.... I think the Israelis can handle their own radicals WHEN they opt to use violence to not only wage war against a neighboring country, but also militarily undermine the duly elected government of the country... See the first part of your sentence....I think the Israelis can handle their own radicals... That's about the Israelis and their own radicals. As it is the lead in part of the sentence, that is the main topic. Then that lead is followed by the word WHEN. This tells the reader that the Israelis will take care of their own radicals after something occurs. You with me so far? Ok. You may recall that we were talking about a Rabinical Council and their position on "no innocents" in a war, which you wanted to confront because all radicals should be confronted. Now you go into the WHEN they opt to use violence to not only wage war against a neighboring country, but also militarily undermine the duly elected government of the country... Now you're saying that before Israel confronts this radical Rabinnical council, the council must first wage war against a neighboring country AND undermine the duly elected government of the country. I'm not exactly sure which country you are referring to here, whether it's the country of Israel or the country of the neighboring country that the Rabinnical Council is militarily attacking. I think grammatically the structure indicates the undermining the government of the country they are attacking. Of course this bears no resemblance to the situation in Lebanon as Hezbollah is not undermining the government of either Israel or Lebanon. Hezbollah has seats in parliament and their representatives were duly elected. This is another instance where you don't much care for democracy when they elect the wrong people. If they vote for people you don't like, democracy doesn't count any more. I really think it would be more fair if the US would give the people of Lebanon a list of people they aren't allowed to vote for in their democracy. So at one time you wanted to confront all radicals and in your very next post you wanted to wait until the Rabinnical Council invaded another country and undermined someone's government Basically, the Rabinnical Council had to be worse than Hezbollah before anything would be done. And then it was only Israel that should be able to confront them. Forget about anyone else. I therefore find your sentence incoherent, but maybe the word drivel or insane is better. I'm flexible on the best word. jttmab
