When you think chris, think "dumb as a stump". Its really a wasted of breath to try to make a point with him.

Israel has the right to defend itself. Israel values every Israeli life. Israel owes its existence to the tragedy of genocide in WWII. So what do we see now? Do we see a world that rushes to the side of Israel? No. We see the world condemn Israel. Some say it is because people hate Jews and so it has nothing to do with Israel. Most people don't buy that at all. Instead, most people watch what Israel does -- and most people are appalled by what Israel does. I am one of the billions of people who would be strongly inclined to be sympathetic to Israel except for one thing: Israelis seem not to care one bit for the life or rights of non-Jews. As a consequence, Israel seems like just one more bloodthirsty tribe seeking revenge and the flagrant killing of men, women and children. Israel disgusts me.

"The IDF positions do not require pinpoint accuracy." The unguided Hezbollah rockets don't get close to "broad side of a barn" accuracy, let alone pinpoint accuracy! The ONLY target they have a chance of hitting is a city or large town. answers.yahoo.com These rockets were originally designed to be fired by the hundreds on massed troops by the Soviets, so accuracy wasn't a concern. As singletons, it's fire and hope for Hezbollah. en.wikipedia.org Whereas the Israeli response is ALWAYS accurate and ALWAYS deadly - they're using our bombs and planes. Thus the 10 to 1 casualty ratio favoring the Israelis.
