This is what i am talking about Hawk. You can push your democracy idea all you want. If the war becomes unpopular, this is what happens or should i say this is what happens in a democracy. Only way to stop this is to stop the war or revisit involuntary servitude aka the Draft. cnn.com

I personally believe the Iraelis, had they so desired, would have been completely justified in declaring war against the Lebanese government, and launching a full-fledged invasion of the country. Because, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the sovereign state to control the sanctity of its borders. You really are looking for way to destroy Tel Aviv; aren't you? Go hump your mattress and give the world some peace.

I am not debating the decision to use force. I will only say the decision to attack an all Muslim country was not thought out to the fullest extent. However, in light of the regrettable decision, how does IDF measure their proportionate response to Hez's launch of missiles against Israel? If Hez luanches 200 missiles at Israel, the IDF has every right to blow up the site from which the missiles were launched. We are entering a phase of gps warfare, where every decision needs to have some sort of gps logic behind the selected targets. The less damage outside of the gps zone, the better.
