The unrelenting bombing of Lebanon was a consequence of Hizbollah kidnapping 5 Israeli soldiers and shelling Israel with Hizbollah's stupid rockets. Hizbollah PROVOKED that attack. Again, if the US was getting constantly bombarded by Mexico and they were kidnapping our border agents and citizens, we'd walk into Mexico and flatten the region to ensure our citizens were safe. Tejek, you make a lot of good points and were part of the reason I changed my mind about Bush, but you have a soft spot for Arab terrorists that seems to come from a real blind spot. I never said Israelis are blameless, but much of their brutal attacks on Arabs comes from the desire to be LEFT ALONE by the damn terrorists. The fact that they can never live in peace drives a hell of a lot of frustration, which culminates in excessive use of force. Don't believe me? Drive a bear into a corner and then taunt it by throwing sticks and stones at it. Then when it charges you and tears you limb from limb, don't blame it for acting so brutally.
