Truck, if I knew that I wouldn't have any worries. As I posted about a week ago, we are now in a period of Mercury retrograde... not a most favorable time to begin (again) any warring. :roll:

I think I will move to a little sea side town in Lebanon. :cry: I wish I could really cry.

"...they make a wilderness, they call it

peace.²"

I say nuke the sand niggers. That will teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.

My head hurts.


I think I have a mote in my eye :wink:
There is a sci fi novel called The Mote In God's Eye. Or maybe it is a short story. I have never read it. But it is an inteesting title.

For some reason when I think of Lebanon I think of Doreen's grandmother.. And when I think of Palestine I think of jamelah's grandmother.

I don't know either cecil, I am sick, my heart is sick.
I did not get the Mercury/hermes reference. Did you mean August 6 would be a good day to nuke somebody?

Maybe smalt would explain it to me. He is a white man.

Jack: "I say nuke the sand niggers. That will teach them a lesson they won't soon forget. "

Sounds like anger speaking, not you! Not forgetting is the root of the problem... that and derogatory name calling from both sides of the fence perpetuates the problem that has been going on seemingly forever amongst humanity. Everyone, every country wanting to assert their superiority over others. One day perhaps we'll all awaken to the futility of that path of stupidity and find that we all have more in common than the limitations of religions and politics that we pose upon ourselves. May that day arrive before our species is no more.

not about winning or losing.

but when you invade another country, kidnap two of its soldiers and then ferret them off to iran for "interrogation" and kind of hope that this will force israel to release prisoners with no other consequesnces, i guess you'd call this an "intelligence failure."

the terrorist shit bags didn't really think this one through.

oh well, back to the drawing board for the terrorists. maybe they can bomb some trains in india and kill a whole mess of civilians. oops did that one earlier in the week.

Yeah, s'malt, it's a tough call but one I think Israel overreacted by bombing the airport (25,000 Americans presently stranded in Lebanon), blowing up hiways, bridges and tunnel roadways. Doesn't seem to me to be areas exclusive of Hezbollah... does it to you?

Why wouldn't Israeli's forces concentrate their might only where they know Hezbollah to be and not the infrastructure of Beirut where thousands have no choice but to flee to Syria? That seems to foster an unhealthy re-connect to Syria, a country that was forced out of Lebanon not too long ago.

Maybe this new PM of Israel is flexing his political muscle to make a statement loud and clear, but when statements are screamed at people they normally tune it out and resent that treatment, no matter the message. Tis' only human nature.

I don't excuse this Hezbollah bullshit at all, but nor can I excuse this Israeli over-reaction. It does little but reinforce the Middle Eastern basic distrust of the U.S./Israel connection. (The U.S. apparently is the only country currently in support of Israel's reaction).

This Israeli reaction can easily be seen as a 'You better stop Hezbollah or else your country is in serious trouble' threat that places Israel in a position of resentful dominance in the Mid-East (with the U.S. waiting in the shadows as a support structure). A dangerous path that can only reinforce insurgency throughout the region, IMO.

Neither side thinking it through... yes.

Calling on Mercury in retrograde (in part):
"....sending communications, travel, appointments, mail and the www into a general snarlup!

Everything finally straightens out on August 12, 2006.
"
Well, let's hope by 8/12 things will normalize at least somewhat!

The bombings in Bombay, Madrid, london, istanbul, ets are all deplored and we should catch them if possible through international cooperration.

Kidnappings back and forth have been going on for years in many different places, kidnappings in Argentina and chile, lynchings in the AmericanSouth.

This current round on one side then the other between Israel and its unfriendly neighbors to the north, south, and east, is a prolongation, nothing more, nobody will gain from this on either side.

looks like we got some diversity here volkz. enuh?

singlemalt, you should check out some other sources first, yo.

what the US is doing to so much worldwide condemnation in guantanamo is nothing compared to what israel is doing in their prisons with palestinians. israeli soldiers being "kidnapped"? come on. you dont kidnap a soldier. a soldier is a soldier. a kidnapped soldier is a POW, just like the palestinian women and children in israel's anti-terrorism prisons, right?
and knowing i'm so eager to fight cant make letting me in any easier.

Noam Chomsky: U.S.-Backed Israeli Policies Pursuing "End of Palestine"; Hezbollah Capture of Israeli Soldiers "Very Irresponsible Act" That Could Lead To "Extreme Disaster"
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl? ... /14/146258
Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon as warplanes launched fresh strikes on Beirut airport, communication networks, Lebanese roads and a power plant. Meanwhile, the US has vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution condemning Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip. MIT professor Noam Chomsky says the US and Israel are punishing Palestinians for electing Hamas, and says Hezbollah's capture of Israeli soldiers subjects Lebanese "to terror and possible extreme disaster" from Israeli strikes............

first thought associations can be risky...

Libano/ Siria equal President Menem
Israel equal jesus, concentration camps and President Menem
Middle east as a whole equal desert, arms and some palms

CNN kids have action again
