I think that if Israel would hit Syria, (to send a message to Arabs supporting Hamas/Hizbollah) it would be an absolutely Devastating strike...lot more than 100 tanks.... PS It is just not cost-effective to mobilise troops just for the large=scale operation in Gaza (coming for certain)

It is clear to me that the arabs are against Israel, as they have continuously tried to destroy Israel. Therefore I have nothing to prove, and the arab sentiment is apparent. However, there are those that believe in peace so strongly that it has become a religion to them. It is for them that this is written; that they may know the will of the arabs. The arab sentiment has never changed; these people have only chosen to see things differently. But perhaps I can make the "blind" see, and these people will open their eyes to reality. When the arabs are not waging war against Israel, they are waging a war of words in preparation for the next war. This propaganda campaign is an effective way for the arab governments to preserve a sentiment of hostility towards Israel. The arab media, public speeches and broadcasts, school curriculum, and the activities of organizations, all play a big role in this arab propaganda campaign, which is initiated and backed by the arab governments. However, above all, it is the arab people in general that make these propaganda campaigns successful. It is the people that react to the stimulus, that are the ones that manifest the sentiment. It is the arab people that reflect this anti-Israel sentiment and they are the ones that are responsible for its effects. It is the arab people that are against Israel, and there can be no excuses made on their behalf. The arab people are responsible for their actions and thus the arabs will suffer for their plans. The following exposition is divided into three sections: egypt, the arab world, and the arabs in Israel. Each section covers a small segment of the arab propaganda campaign, to give an example of the arab sentiment. amichai.com

Actually, WWII started long before Pearl Harbor. Did you forget about Hitler? No, but US active participation began after Pearl Harbor. Japan was doing nothing that the West hadn't already done in Asia (and continued to do through the 1970s). I don't know. The west did colonize most of Asia by force. And some awful things were done in the process. But I've read about the Rape of Nanking and the Japanese activities seem to have been a bit more blood-thirsty than most other colonial powers.
