I think terrorists are everywhere, myself. Anyone that intentionally kills non-combatants is a terrorist in my books. Or even anyone that knows that the deaths of non-combatants would be a result of some activity they have done is a terrorist, whether it be intended or not, IMO.
You are trying to debate the RoE, a mandate that as it is ordered, is a set of handcuffs for civilized Armies(Yes I see the contradictary nature of that statement), but the enemies we face on the modern battlefield, use the media as a weapon and place no value on the civilian populations of the opposing side, so why should we?
Actually Earth as One, people do know the "other" statistics.
but if Israel really wanted the Palestinians dead, hell, if any industrialized nation REALLY wanted a group of people dead. They would be dead. All of them, within a few days, a few weeks to get rid of stragglers.
Ask yourself this, If you gave Hamas a nuclear arsenal tommorow what would happen? Would they sit on them for 50 years? Or just whipe out Israel tommorow?
What has Israel done with its weapons? Zilch.
Thats how we know who the group we want to win is.
Percisely!!!
I would agre with you... except Canada voted in favor of creating Israel. I believe all nations must take responsibility for their actions.... including Canada:
We have, we support them, but you missed the point of my post. My point was, even if the Hamas was not a terrorist organization, how is it our job to support it? It is a TO, so we will not support it.
hmm democratically hamas did win over fatah! but unfortunately, that was not accepted by other nations!! since they couldnt have their puppet party up in palestine... they cut off all the aids.. how sweet... kill the whole nation because they choose the wrong party!!
I wouldn't mind supporting iran!!
The nation chose to support a known TO, therefore they have expressed a contradictory phylosophy to those that would support it. Lie in the bed you made.
The conservative antiwar.com has published several articles over the past few months which also agree that Bush wants to invade Iran. Had his invasion of Iraq been a success there is no doubt that the criminal traitor would have done it to Iran as well.
Without a doubt!
Obviously events are not unfolding in the middle east according to the Israeli/American plan. The US does not have the resources to invade and occupy Iran without crashing the same way the USSR did in Afghanistan during the 1980's.
How can Israel or the US start a war with Iran when it hasn't been proven that Iran has violated the NPT, actively aids insurgents or threatens the US?
Until Iran directly attacks the US or Israel, the US cannot justify attacking Iran. That card has been played already against Iraq.
Do Americans want to accelerate the debt rate the US to start yet another unprovoked war which kills hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians?
That plan being, F off and don't tread on me?
How can anyone control Palestine when Israel routinely assassinates anyone with the potential to unite Palestinians?
Hamas can only control their own actions, not that of others. Israel knows who belongs to which group, yet kill both peace makers and peace breakers. What does that tell you about Israel's self proclaimed peaceful intentions?
If someone claims all of their neighbors are A$$holes who is the real problem?
Israel has fought wars against every nation on its borders at one time or another. Egypt and Jordan made peace with Israel... after the US coughed up billions in military and economic aid. Is that loyalty or bribery?
Yes they fought wars with all their neighbours because their neighbours started them all. A fact you seem unable to grasp.
Ah, in Iran, the "democratically elected" government requires all candidates for office first be vetted by the clerics...............even the USSR used to have elections, they are a farce without the freedom of all persons and all parties to run.......
lol, a wasted breath of fresh air.
I think people are cofusing the semantics of the NPT with the Gritty reality of it.
The Gritty reality of it, is that the NPT is designed to keep the big 5 on top, and that in exchange..the non-big five wouldn't be nuked into oblivion during a fight. You don't have nukes so we won't use them.
It has never been anything other than a control mechanism.
It is akin to a room with 200 people and 5 big guys with guns. They tell everyone..nobody had better try and get a gun, and as long as you don't we won't shoot you, even if we get in a fight.
There are flowery words and promises no one has any intention of keeping, but that is the long and the short of it.
Its kind of like how everyone says they don't engage in espionage, but no government worth its salt doesn't involve itself in the spy game.
Pretty simple explanation, pretty good one at that.
Israel has existed for thousands of years before Canada.
The only thing that has been "created" in the past sixty years is the "Palestinian".
A fact that is wholey ignored by the apologists.
What are you talking about, israel was created in 1948, that is a fact, the palestinians always been there, they just don't have a fairy tail bible to prove it, they were just there, that is also a fact.
No, Isarel was a Jewish state, long before the Arabs moved in and ceased to be nomadic. They were subjugated and pushed out. The UN just gave it back by mandate. The past of the Palastinian and lebonese, was nomadic, an historic fact that even they do not try and dismiss or misrepresent, only people like you do that. They do not call it their homeland in the same sense that the Israelis do, they just claim it as their land. Prior to the involvement of the English and the "borderization" of the ME, they were nomadic, period. They called no realeastate home. The Jews did.
Just what the world needs a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of a Mad Man. Yea sure that is a good thing, okay. The US is a responsible global player, Iran's leader is barking mad. No comparision.
Absolutely
Had I written that people would have said I was in attack mode.
No, you would have won the award. Your no martyr gopher.
