Anakin Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Uncle Sam has enough on his plate:-( So much for war against terrorism. This war in iraq was a mistake from the very beginning. It's just another side effect of that. And while I do have sympathies for israel, their over-reaction to everything has a lot to do with this too.

Just replace the fire power potential or arab states and israel and see whether israel even exists in that scenario. Answer will be resounding nooooooo. War in iraq was a mistake for sure if anythign saddam's regime was the only secular regime in that wilderness called arab land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Uncle Sam has enough on his plate:-( Yeah that's the reason the iraq war is a blunder. Israel-lebanon problem goes a long way back, it's not just the rockets. I side with the israelis but would have liked precision attacks and commando raids rather than destroying the whole cities, or destroying 10 city blocks with single bomb just for one guy.

I side with the israelis but would have liked precision attacks and commando raids rather than destroying the whole cities, or destroying 10 city blocks with single bomb just for one guy. Now that's the problem there is no precision bomb available which can avoid civilain population if rockets are laucnhed from the civilain area. And then we have 100's of katusha laucnhed which is loose canon by its very design nobody knows where it will land. O israeli side casualty was less because they value their civilian population and put them in bomb shelter whereas for lebenese civilians killed is fodder in their propaganda war hence they without slightest of regard park their rocket launchers in civilian zone.
