Would we tolerate it if one of our boardering countries built up large numbers of offensive weapons on our boarders? You think that we'd just sit there and let the build up continue year after year until it was an uncontainable force? I think not. Israel's neighbors did.

So thinking that this happens, Israel keeps bombing anyway trying to stay ahead of world opinion and the UN. The rightwing Israeli government has ZERO credibility. That's what happens when you marry yourself to Bush and the Neocons. 1. The UN has no troops 2. The UN was ignored by Bush in the invasion of Iraq 3. Bush put Bolton into place who is famous for wanting to get rid of several floors of the UN 4. Rightwingers hate the UN and use them only when they're losing and need someone to whine to ynetnews.com IDF officials said in response to the strike that "the incident in the village of Qana is the result of the criminal use made by Hizbullah of villages in Lebanon as a human shield." ynetnews.com "A state that pretends to be democratic, moral, and law-abiding, must manage the fighting in accordance with international humanitarian and criminal law regulations," the Association noted. "The willingness to respect those regulations during times of crisis and times of war is what distinguishes moral, law-abiding states from countries that are not."
