Just because a nation is ready for war does not mean that they are at war. If they are not at war then there can be no POW.

I was asking what you were trying to say. It seemed that when you claimed they were POW's that it was legitimate. So am I correct in assuming that you don't believe the kidnappings were justified?

Well that depends: "Kidnapped from Israeli soil? or captured in Lebanon?

The Arabs have been at war with Israel since they were created. So no matter where the soldiers were they were captured.

"Bush and Blair knew in advance of the Israeli plans to invade Lebanon."

>>>That's what I'm hearing, also. Bush, Blair and the Israelis were just waiting for a pretext, kinda like Hitler did with the Poles and the neocons did with Saddam. The intent was to impress Iran.

You have complained in the past that this is not a US fight..
Then you insinuate that since Blair and Bush might have known about a war rising this seems to give the US and UK some responsibility?
wow...
And then there's this propaganda report you present as a specific event.
Israel has 3 resources of water supply, which seem to be regions where they need to be most protective.

Lebanon (Beirut) is rich in water supply, and always has been, the only problem with Lebannon is they have neglected to build dams!
Perhaps instead of funding a terrorist group they could have upgraded, built dams and conserved the rich water supplies they have.
The 7 miles of farmland doesn't make for a substancial water supply for israel.
Research it, you'll find out.

Between north and south Korea there is a no man's land. If a North Korean were to infiltrate into the south and was captured would we call it a kidnapping? If it were an American soldier infiltrating and was taken, what would it be called? There is no war there either, What is the answer?

What evidence is there to prove that the UK and US knew beforehand that the Lebanese incident would occur?

The article in the incredibly left-leaning "New Statesman" is simply an incredibly biased and opinionated conspiracy to feed the hard-line UK left-wingers.

I haven't seen the evidence, but it is not too far fetched to inform your allies of your plans.
