Maurice, sorry you are wrong. After World War II rules were set up. An invading maurader could no longer just invade a country and take its lands And so why all the bitching about how we kicked Saddam out of power for what he did in Kuwait?? And btw, you can't get someone to play by your rules if you're stacking the deck against them. And permitting Hizballah to rearm is a violation of "the rules".. And in case either you, or Sarman, want proof they are re-arming, all you have to do is read what Hizballah leaders are saying publicly: haaretz.com *"Sure, we are rearming, we have even said that we have far more rockets and missiles than we did in 2006,"* a Hezbollah commander told the Observer speaking on condition of anonymity. haaretz.com Hawk

Garden, that's totally stupid. Do you really think it's sensible that some gang of criminals can attack, lose, be given back what they lost, to rearm and have another go, in perpetuity? What's the consequence for attacking in the first place? In civilisation, the initiator of violence is punished. Israel was created by the UN. Arabs attacked and lost. A few times. Israel got bigger as a result. They didn't even keep all they won and do as traditional and which is clear the conquered territory of the opposition. Heck, even in the USA they moved the Indians out of the way when they lost and didn't just give the land back. Mqurice
