Ugh -_-. This is really going to destabilize the region.
Israel is a militaristic nation because it's neighbours regularly try and wipe them out.
Yes, they did capture 2 Isreali troops, but before that Isreal had 100's of women and children imprisoned without trial. I don't agree with Hizbullah on alot of things, but they want these people liberated and hell I do too, obviously they're not powerful enough to do that, I wonder what they hoped to achieve.Solaris, please. I could have written that post for you, it was so predictable. Both sides are wrong, but Hezbollah has bought this upon themselves. Israel is a militaristic nation because it's neighbours regularly try and wipe them out. With that in mind, Hezbollah captured Israeli troops. Why? They're just bringing destruction on innocent people.
They don't, and even the civillians who hate Hezbollah still get their bridges and powerplants bombed, maybe even their houses.Why? The civilian masses shouldn't support the terrorists then. Simple as. And hell, if Hezbollah cared for the people they claim to be fighting for they'd give up the troops right now.

Maybe they should withdraw from palestine into their own country and stop making more enemys.Should Israel simply endure kidnappings and constant rocket barrages?
Just sit back and say "hey dont do that"?
Maybe they should withdraw from palestine into their own country and stop making more enemys.
Also, which country would submit to the demands of kidnappers? :rolling:
Once you do that, its open season.
So you go and destory a whole country and thier airport and tv stations, or kill thier civils ?
And what with this " We will turn Lebanon's clock back 20 years " its just ignorant.
Its not justifyable. If your freind steals my sweets it's not okay for me to keep hitting you untill he gives them back. Isreal are taking the entire country of lebanon hostage for the release of the prisoners.-The logic is paralizing the country so the pressure is high and the kidnappers give up the soldiers (though i think in this case Israel's response is way out of proportion and does more harm than good).

So why is it wrong for terrorists to attack america by flying a plane into the twin towers, but it's okay for Isreal to drop bombs on civillians?Bad example; you cant compare kidnapping people with stealing sweets...
Any country would do the same thing if hostile neighbours kidnap people from within your country, and fire daily rocket attacks.
I think Israel's reaction is out of proportion, but they certainly have the right to protect their people and punish Lebannon for its actions.
Lebannon should take responsibility for this outlawed terrorist organisation which they are harbouring.
When we bombed Germany during the war, we didnt make excuses "oe, we can bomb and attack Nazi's but we must leave Germany alone".
There's no line you can draw there, its all to mixed. Especially Hizbollah, who loves to mix with the Civilian population.
Hell the headquarters was in an appartment complex in the middle of freekin Beirut!!!
How is Israel suppost to defend itself from Hizbollah, when Hizbollah totally blends with the Lebanese people.....
Why? The civilian masses shouldn't support the terrorists then.
They don't

Perhaps Hitler did have the right idea....
*runs away, dodging stones*
j/k

heh, now how did the US get pulled into this :angel:
Its also a terrible comparisson but here you go:
-In 9/11 hijackers deliberatly targetted as many civilians as possible to cause terror.
-Israel is trying to target a terrorist organisation who hides amongst civilians. The result is civilians get hit.
The first 1 is targetting civies on purpose, the other is collateral damage in which Hizbollah is mostly responsible.
Not that collateral damage is "good" or "acceptable" but when Hizbollah hides amongst civilians and according to the news yesterday has been reported using children as human shields, launches rockets from residential areas, has its HQ in an appartment complex in the middle of the city, the responsibility imo lies mostly with Hizbollah who (what a surprise..) also happened to start this.
Now lets not drag the pointless USA-Iraq-9/11 discussion into here, it has nothing to do with the current MidEast Crisis....
