Israel strikes Lebanon

[NBCintern]

my views are not intended to be popular

they are what I believe is the best course of action, and killing terrorists and their governments is of course the right course of action. You agree with that, don't you?

No.

NBC, this is a good and informative thread. Please don't mess it up by getting political.
Thanks

might be the best thing that could happen

the terrorist scum and their complicit governments will be dealt with... the first step for real peace

If you want the real first step in peace, then get rid of mankind. Otherwise, your foreign policy views are less than admirable.

No there not, Derek's views point directly to the problem. Fascist Islam and the countries that support it are the problem and always have been. Countries such as Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc...they continue to teach hate and destruction for Israel. Its no wonder they want to move the hostages to Iran. Iran has a leader that claims the holocaust didn't actually happen and wants Israel to be destroyed. Israel and its allies need to do whatever they can to eliminate these terrorist groups and the facist governments that support them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was trying to respond to his post.

I never thought I'd see the day on here where one actually says killing terrorists is bad. Need not say any more regarding that

Have they confirmed who hit Haifa?

No, but the rockets came from Lebanon. Hezbollah has denied it, but they also threatened to strike Haifa earlier.

The U.S. vetoed a U.N. Resolution condemning Israel's operations in Gaza(which have been going on for over 2 weeks). Talk about poor timing...

Thank you, Brent! 30 more minutes, then I can go home and park myself on the couch and watch this all night.

CNN keeps saying "War?"..... What constitues a war?

[Audrey2Katrina]

I certainly do... the only thing a "terrorist" understands is the language from the barrel of a loaded weapon... they've proven that time and time again.

Countries throwing missles at one another..

[Janice]

Well, why are they discussing it then with a question mark. I would say it has already begun.

Yes, and when one's ideology is hatred and blood-thirsty.

On the U.S. vetoing the resolution I say its about time...anyways...here is the article on it:

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution put forward by Qatar on behalf of Arab states that would have condemned Israel's two-week military incursion into Gaza.

The vote on the draft resolution was 10-1, with the United States voting no, and four countries abstaining -- Britain, Denmark, Peru and Slovakia.

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Washington had voted against the text because it was "untimely and already outmoded."

A resolution requires at least nine votes -- and no veto from any of the council's five permanent members -- for approval. The five are Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.

The veto was the first by the United States since October 2004 when former Ambassador John Danforth opposed a resolution calling on Israel to end an earlier incursion into Gaza.

It was Bolton's first veto on any issue since he arrived at U.N. headquarters as Washington's top envoy nearly a year ago.

Israel and the United States, its closest ally, had lobbied hard for the measure's defeat, hoping to let it die for lack of support rather than exercise a U.S. veto.

But in the end, the measure attracted more than enough votes for adoption, requiring Bolton to kill it.

The resolution would have demanded the unconditional release of an Israeli soldier captured earlier as well as Israel's immediate withdrawal from Gaza and the release of dozens of Palestinian officials detained by Israel.

Palestinian U.N. Observer Riyad Mansour had argued that the council should view the Gaza action as separate from the crisis along the Israeli-Lebanese border created when Hizbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers and Israel retaliated with a wave of military strikes on Lebanon.

Technically this probably isn't a war, more like a conflict, but if it escalates much more it will be.

[Janice]

See, when crap like this goes on, North Korea and Iran are out of the picture for a short bit and that could be just what they want.....

[canegrl04]

Hamas and Hezbollah get their funding/weapons from Iran and Syria.If israel truly wants to "break" Hexbollah,they will need to invade Syria,and do something with iran.I guess that constitutes an actual war

[rainstorm]

its all for nothing. iran and syria are behind this, and not a single bomb is falling on them. in the end, israel will gain nothing

[Regit]

Don't count on Iran getting off. MSNBC just reported that Iran has all but promised to attack Israel if Syria is hit.

No.

NBC, could you please explain? What else should be done with terrorists? Make love not war? Surely there must be something I'm not understanding behind your reasoning.
