OK...Your posts indicated to me that you thought I was favoring Israel too much. Part of me wants to say..."well, someone has to, it certainly isn't the media"... and the other part says, "no, I'm not, as it is pretty rare to find any piece at all that favors Israel....most of them seem to be lopsided, and favor the terrorists. Don't get me wrong - while I haven't met many, I have met a few Lebanese people, and liked them very much. What I don't understand however, is how the people who live in Lebanon could vote terrorists in as part of their own government.... There isn't one thing good I can say that I know about Hezbollah. They have killed thousands of people, for no reason. They have killed Americans as well. Wholesale killing. Re the pacifier, ....I've said what I had to say before. Go try the experiment yourself with a doll and powdered cement. You will see the pacifier remains covered with powdered cement. Or if you dump the baby over, and the powered stuff falls off, then the pacifier would just show a fine powder. Look at the picture again. Actually, re the rocket fire vs the bombing.... I would hope that if my state was being hit with 140 rockets a day at a minimum, that my country would bomb the bejeepers out of whoever was sending the rockets to my state. No one talks about injured or dead Israeli's, nor how many have been killed by suicide bombers in the past and even in the present.... No one talks about Hezbollah kidnapping and killing Israeli citizens and their soldiers.... You might be pretty peeved, at the least, if Russia or the US, decided to bombard Canada with rockets on a massive scale and do all the things that Hezbollah is doing, now wouldn't you? What if they only sent one or two rockets? Or maybe 10? Or maybe 100 total? How many is enough for you to be REALLY peeved? I find it odd, and distressful. It would be better and easier to understand if the news we got was not so one sided. IF the situation was exactly the opposite, and it was Israel who were the "uncountried" terrorists, and Hezbollah were a State that was being terrorized all the time by the mean and evil Israeli's, I would say exactly the same thing as I now do about Hezbollah. But Israel isn't doing that, are they?
