My question is why is anyone trying to defend terrorists. It is a FACT that they hide behind civilians. They do so for two reasons: 1) They hope that the country taht they attacked will be compasionate and show mercy by not firing into where civilians are. 2) When a country does fight back and hurts the civilians that they hide behind they get the sympathy vote and some great PR coverage.

Agreed. I find it very odd indeed.

No argument there. But certain people would be apposed to disarming Hezbullah. That basically what we did with the Taliban and look what people said. How do you deal with fundamental terrorists? How do you propose we deal with them? We had Marines in Beruit and they blew them up. I'm not sure how we could have been more involved and still been polictically correct.

Does anyone have a clue here or do you all get your news from the TV?
Tv news tells you that two israeli solders were kidnapped. What they (government controlled news) failed to tell you was that the soldiers were in LABANON when they were cought!! >>>>>>>> http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/israeli_solders.html
And here's some commentary on the website linked in the opening post: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles...nhezbollah.htm

Apparently you only read the half of the sentance that was to your liking. here is the whole sentence quoted from the webpage:
Quote:

Reports accusing Hezbollah of using civilians as human shields have proven to be as wildly out of context as Iran making Jews wear yellow badges.

Ok, fine I'll address the entire sentence. You think the claims are exaggerated? I think you're wrong. Want to know why? Read these.

If that isn’t enough, there’s always the article about why the UN station was hit. http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/a...st_was_bombed/
When you have a comeback for these, by all means let me know (And I am being serious).

I have to admit . I'm not very trusting of using blog websites for resourcecful news.
In any event, Israel is shooting missles blindly into Lebanon not even knowing what/who they will hit. Where Hezzbolah is at the time of the strike does not give the opposition the right to blindly fire weapons. It is war and it is ugly. My concern is the civilians of Lebanon and the innocent families whom are dying in the name of bad politics.
As of 7pm tonight (eastern standard time) Israel was to go full fledge in attacking Hezzbolah in Lebanon reguardless of where or who they bomb. Again, this whole thing started by Israel sending Soldiers into Lebanon and now they are bombing the crap out of Lebanon.

First sorry about the second link. As dumb as it sounds, that wasn’t the one I read and I copied and pasted the link. That’s my bad I guess. Arg, I hate it when I do stupid things like that. Firing blindly? You mean like Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets? What do you mean by firing blindly? I haven’t seen that in the news except for the possible exception of the UN post. Civilians are dying, and while some of that must be Israel’s fault, I find that the majority of the responsibility must fall on Hezbollah for hiding in densely populated areas. Once again, if they hide in civilian areas, innocents will be killed. I will give more links to the fact of human shields and a more creditable one referring to the UN.

Petey -
"I have to admit . I'm not very trusting of using blog websites for resourcecful news."
Granted blogs are not always very resourceful, so I went to your personal webpage and clicked the various links. They are the same ones you cite here. Those are credible? In one of the links it had Bill Clinton in a Nazi uniform. You cite links as credible sources that "uncover" conspiracies by numerous secret societies to take over the world. And exactly when did the John Birch Society become a credible source? I will have to admit that I did enjoy your webpage though. Without I would have never learned about my new favorite secret society - The Georgia Guidestones (Modern day Rosicrucians).
