well let me see you live in canada now so do you even vote in us elections? My thought process is very simple: if Iran sponsors an act of terrorism in the united states, you will find out how small the number of civillian casualties are in Lebanon now. Do you have a clue as to the number of civillians that died in the short lived US bombing of Iraq?

Lastly this war is not about 2 kidnapped soldiers. Its about a legitamate country harboring a terrorist organization in its midst with a huge arsenal clearly capable of being deployed against its neighbor. If Israel had waited a couple of years. the rockets would probably be carrying nuclear material in their warheads, and you would probably be saying that it didnt matter as israel really had no right to exist anyway. Israel had to fight this war this way and they had to fight it now. Personally I think Israel would have been much better off had they not been so careful in preserving "civillians". I still think they level Tyre before this is all said and done. I also believe that sooner or later most arab nationals will be sent home from Western countries as being too much of a threat to manage.
