Yes yes, I know, the usual cop-out from peaceniks.


Let's see what you choose to ignore from my post:

I'm as outraged at Hezbollah as I am at Israel. The tactics are equally despicable. But the effects are not equal.

How would you feel if another country had destroyed Israels infrastructure, their government, turned most of their citizens into refugees? Let's just say because of a few "terrorist acts against the Palestinians"?

Most times it makes things worse, especially in the ME.

You can "nuance" it all you want, but drones dropping bombs on fleeing refugees is not a "Christian" thing. It's not a reason for you to celebrate.

I guess I just don't get the moral relativism.


Care to address anything else?

re: You said it yourself, you don't know how to stop Hezbollah from launching thousands of rockets into Israel. Think that's going to impress the Israelis, especially those living in bomb shelters?

I'm not trying to impress anyone, and I'm not about to say I have the solution to the the ME. Are you? Is destroying one of the few democracies in the ME for a few thousand extremists the solution? I know stupid when I see it... what's happening is counter-productive. I say both sides are resonsible, you say one side. Who is right?

re: Or are you just going to tell them that terrorism is just a pimple on their asses?

It is. Less than that really, if you have ever had a pimple on your ass.

Cancer, heart attack, stroke, auto accidents... that's serious shit. That's going to kill 9 out of 10 of us. Terrorism? Maybe one out of 25 million. A pimple, or less.

Now if you nutty Christian fundamentalist want to start a world war with the minuscule number of nutty Islamic fundamentalist, it could become serious. You idiots could seriously fuk up the world.

It's imperative that we get you Neo's and fundamentalists out of power, so the world can live in peace. Things were going damn good 'till you nutcases took the reins of power.

JF, Sorry, I don't get your "nuance". I'm against war.

Yes yes, I know, the usual cop-out from peaceniks. Well who isn't against war? You said it yourself, you don't know how to stop Hezbollah from launching thousands of rockets into Israel. Think that's going to impress the Israelis, especially those living in bomb shelters? Or are you just going to tell them that terrorism is just a pimple on their asses?


I've heard its been really hot in S. CA lately. I am afraid the heat has screwed with your brain. It was Israel that started first the non stop plane forays and missile attacks against Lebanon. What Hezbollah did was kidnap two guys.......Israel's response what to destroy most of Lebanon which pretty much tells you that their attack was planned and they were just waiting for an incident to occur so they could put that plan into motion.

In other words, had Israel not started it huge assault on Lebanon, those Hezbollah rockets would have stayed in their launchers.

Think that's going to impress the Israelis, especially those living in bomb shelters? Or are you just going to tell them that terrorism is just a pimple on their asses?

Please stop Ten.......I am ready to sob. Those poor Israelis having to live in bomb shelters during the week and then going to Tel Aviv on the weekends for some R and R. Its just too much for anyone to bear.

But what about the poor Lebanese who are homeless..........some estimates put that figure in the hundreds of thousands?

Let me see......what's worse........living in a bomb shelter during the week and partying in Tel Aviv on the weekends, or being homeless. God, that's a tough one........but I think I have to go with homeless as being worse. Duh!

So my question to you is why do the neos love war so much?
