I pray to God that these nutty Hezbollahs are not going to hit the ships with people trying to flee since their aims have been... wherever. <BR/><BR/>Negotiations is going to take a while and in the mean time more and more innocent people are being killed and the nations demolished.<BR/><BR/>Is Hezbollah even going to listen to negoitiations? Are they willing to return those soldiers or have they already barbarically killed them? Are they willing to cease fire? I have my doubts!<BR/><BR/>I hate any kind of war but the war on terror is even worse because these cowards hide among their own innocent people, play "catch me if you can", and mock and laugh with each new success. When one group gets dealt with, lo and behold, here come some more. These spineless idiots are really getting on my nerves!<BR/>vjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-1153194636162548052006-07-17T21:50:00.000-06:002006-07-17T21:50:00.000-06:00No one except Hezbollah and Hamas saw this coming....No one except Hezbollah and Hamas saw this coming. That's the problem. The Lebanese gov't isn't in charge and Assad isn't in charge in Syria and Iran is the crazzzzzy puppeteer.<BR/><BR/>The P.C. world is just surprised about Israel's actions because hand-wringing and navel gazing at the UN Security Council pass for solutions.<BR/><BR/>The U.S. didn't know, obviously, we're extracting our many thousands of citizens as well.

This escalated so quickley it's freightening. Did you see this coming since you keep up with this a lot more? Why are there so many tourists over there? Did anyone see this coming?<BR/>vjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-1153156108398520762006-07-17T11:08:00.000-06:002006-07-17T11:08:00.000-06:00Hey Chalmers,Did you see that?

A madman's sons with nukes is...um worse. Perhaps that is why Egypt, Saudia Arabia and other Mid East gov't won't condemn Israel. In fact, could they be happy that someone is standing up to Iran?

And you're right: emotions that interfere with sound strategy have no place in war. And I hope the U.S. and Israel don't bow to pressure to make this a P.C. effort.<BR/><BR/>The job needs to get done, and completely. I still mourn for the people of Lebanon. I do believe they have been trying to manage their own house...it has just not been enough to spare Israel. Israel made a choice to end the half-measures.<BR/><BR/>The results pain me nonetheless. The sting will be removed if Hezbollah is eliminated for good.Melissa Clouthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864991953502438461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-1153094150274083622006-07-16T17:55:00.000-06:002006-07-16T17:55:00.000-06:00Shortly after D-Day, the Allies launched an operat...Shortly after D-Day, the Allies launched an operation to capture the French port of Cherbourg. This operation, which included both artillery and air bombardment, certainly caused heavy casualties among French civilians. I'm sure many residents of the city felt very bitter and had a hard time understanding why the Allies didn't just go fight the actual enemy, Germany.<BR/><BR/>The reason, of course, was that they needed a port for logistical purposes. This was cold comfort to the residents, but it was a reality.<BR/><BR/>Not all decisions can be made at a purely emotional level.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.com
