Kofi is an idiot. Of course he says to appease his friends.

To stop now would mean Hezbollah are not disarmed and the threat to Israel is not extinguished.

The British Chamber of Shipping said on Thursday it has declared the coasts of Lebanon and Israel a war zone.
"As far as we know, we are the first shipping chamber (in the world) to declare those areas as a war zone," said a spokesman for British Chamber of Shipping.
The International Shipping Chamber is expected to follow suit very soon, he said.

As long as one of these militants are left standing the threat to Israel is always going to be there ready to strike at some point in time. Does that mean they mean to obliterate the whole country and everybody in it now? Emergency care needs to be given to those in need and the only way to do that is if both sides have a cease fire and that is all the leader of the UN is saying.

The country is being obliterated, and I agree the threat as long as there is an Israel will never fully vanish.

However ther are Hezbollah missiles all over Lebanon, they were smart enough to spread out their operation but dumb enough to underestimate how serious Israel is about weakening them to the point they can't fire a missile from anywhere.

Dual-purpose targets will continue to be bombed until missile capabilities are nil.

As recent as two days ago Hezbollah was still receiving supplies so some of the bomb sites are strategic ones to close of routes. If not support of all kinds could roll in and this skirmish would be indefinite.

It's an unfortunate result, wish it could be different but reality gets in the way.

You can go on about duel purpose targets all you want but when I see pictures on the internet of villages with children being slaughtered, my sympathy for Israel goes by the wayside, take it as you like it. They are just going through that country slaughtering everything and everyone in their path with no regard for human life at all, the very thing they accuse of the enemy

How do you get by in life thinking this way? Could you please tone-down the rhetorical bull$hit and actually try to be honest.

Let me add, disregarding your emotional correctness brought on by political correctness, that the death toll can be nothing but one sided no matter what.

Israel have been attacked so many times that they are better prepared with bomb shelters and such. Also remember that the first missiles fired by Hezbollah were straight into Haifa and several hundred since. It's not like Hezbollah haven't tried to kill as many civilians as possible, they have just been unsuccessful.

Hezbollah has been periodically shelling and rocketing northern Israel for 20 years, with little response from Israel. Israel would frequently arrange for talks, hopefully settling things. However, the shelling and rocketing would begin again. Finally, Israel had enough, and is now trying to stop Hezbollah once and for all. How terrible?

Israel has been a fabulous asset for the USA, as the only democracy and ally in the Middle East. The USA get a tremendous amount of intelligence from Israel, and is a forward base and agent for the USA. Some have said that we get as much bang from the few bucks given to Israel that we get from the $100 B we spend for defense in NATO. This is the reason that every president and congress have, without hesitance, supported Israel.

Actually I was being completely honest and I get by in life just fine but thanks for the interest.

I am not denying that they had to do something since Hezbollah kidnapped two of their soldiers then fired rockets into their civilian areas. I never claimed that Islamic militants were saints that never hurt civilians of their enemies.

What I do say is that if we make judgements about them killing civilians then we shouldn't do it ourselves or make lame excuses for doing it.

Nations with big weapons cable of massive destruction should be more responsible and intelligent in preventing civilian deaths. If they don't take any care, they should be held accountable.

Also, it's not really anything to do with any kind of political correctness with the things I say in this thread, if anything it's the other way around and it kind of makes me nervous.

Will Israel invade?

I didn't think this was a possibility. Do you think they're bluffing?

Actually, they have already troops in Libanon and some officials announced to invade it earlier as well.

Did anyone else foresee an invasion? I can't imagine them having them manpower to invade.

Is anyone else sort of surprised even?

According to the Israelian ambassador in Germany, they could invade Syria (and Iran) as well - "if it must be done".

See also "Who Is Congress Listening To?" because it is for certain they are no longer listening to you.
