You probably misunderstood my previous post, the actions of Israel's bombing are meant to terrorize the terrorists (not the people) into submission. I realize you're very sympathetic to their cause and approve of their methods but you should still understand that they are not people, they are terrorists.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Doesn't matter, the actions of Israel's bombing are meant to terrorize the people in to submission
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Doesn't matter, the actions of Israel's bombing are meant to terrorize the people in to submission and bend to Israel's political will. The goal is political, the tool is spreading fear of future bombing that does and has killed women, children, and other innocent observers.
That is terrorism, no matter how much you rationalize that it isn't.

PS How did you manage to hijack your own thread and turn it into another anti-Israel rant? Is that your argument of last resort, when thoroughly spanked you start whining about Israel?
Quote from dddooo:
Hezbollah targets Israeli civilians, Israel targets Lebanese terrorists, Israel does its best to avoid/minimize civilian casualties, Hezbollah does its best to cause/maximize civilian casualties, Israel recognizes Lebanon's right to exist, Hezbollah wants to wipe Israel off the map.

I should have clarified - we should have been bombing military targets in Tehran, i.e. Revolutionary Guard installations, military intelligence assets, air defense, etc. Not civilians!!Quote from acronym:
I should point out, that historically, bombing is a retarded idea.
It escalated , after the bombing of london, mobilizing citizens against the common enemy.......to dresden, which mobilized the entire country against the "enemy".
It escalated the korean war, with much needed propaganda after usaf bombed "civilian" columns of refugees, and escalated vietnam, after north vietnamese cities and ports were bombed , was it nixon?
It missed the target of Gaddafi in tripoli, instead killing his adopted child-and libya is now best friends with the west.
Hmm, that must be a win for bombing, you got me there!!!
Its nearly as good as AAA's "cut and run-to the green zone" policy.
And another point that I constantly make is that the responsibility for the killing of human shields lies solely on those who use them as human shields. In fact this is not my point, this is the point the Fourth Geneva Convention makes. I know it pains you to hear it but its your Palestinian/Lebanese/Hamas/Hezbollah buddies who have the blood of innocent human shields on their hands.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
You make this point constantly as you rationalize the killing of "human shields." "Human shields" are not terrorists.
Quote from hapaboy:
Bush is slow as usual. Should have started bombing Tehran the minute we had evidence that IEDs killing our troops in Iraq originated from Iran.

Quote from cgroupman:
When will our elected officials start working for the American people again, instead of the selfish interests of oil and industry? And, no, I don't think God is smiling now about Mr. Bush or anyone else invading other countries. At least not my God.
What a mess,
