[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Yeah...Lebanon's ambassador sparred verbally with the ambassador from Israel yesterday at the U.N., callng for the international community to condemn Israel's "unprovoked attacks". I laughed. Israel's ambassador pointed to him and said (from memory here) "you know in your heart that if you could, you'd be sitting right here next to me, because you [i]know[/i] getting rid of Hezbolah will benifit the Lebanese people." Iran's been suprisingly quiet on the matter- waiting to pounce I suppose. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [qb] Right, so now you're just pulling out the canned "they made their own bed, now they all deserve whatever Israel does" response, is that it? Because if you are, there's really not much left to discuss in this thread. [/qb][/QUOTE]Not that I'd put it that way, but kidnapping Israeli troops and sustained rocket attacks is certainly "asking for it"...it's certainly no blank check though, and Israeli forces have shown much restraint in their targets, it seems (if you have an alternate POV, I'd love to hear it). The debate [i]now[/i] is where will it all lead to? I dont see the US getting involved unless attacked first (very unlikely at this juncture), but I can see France and possibly Russia condemning Israel after a while more. BTW, anyone catch Bush's assinine press-conference (at the G-8 summit) remark about how he "would like to see Russia follow Iraq's lead in becoming more democratic"? Putin just said "I really [i]dont[/i] think Russia needs to become like Iraq" wich drew a roar of laughter. A great comeback- you can hear the translator cracking up as he translates for the auidence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
