Cool man i appreciate your candor. most people change tuines when it comes to their people, their soldiers...I wish there were more like you..but anyway back to topic..israel has comprehensive intelligence atleast on the border areas, has ofeq 1 through 5 always pointed at conflict areas and knew absolutely about the UN positions.

They already have SF crawling through the countryside and shoukd have used that arm to negate the threat from that grid..they shouldnt have bombed the area knowing fully well the presence of UN peacekeeprs. now they are not doing any favor to themselves in the UN.

Understandable, but also take into consideration it is entirely likely that Hez could feed information to Israeli informants stating supposedly "hez compunds" which are actually innocents. In this way Hez can make Israel out to be the bad guy who doesn't care. I find this scenario much more likely than the fact Israel is targeting civnilians due to the one fact the civilian casulaty is so low compared to the amount of explosives used.

The world will thank us in 50 years. Hell... Iran, Syria, Lebanon will thank us in 50 years.

And if WW2 had gone the other way, in the present day the world would be thanking Germany for killing all the Jews I'm sure.
 
They were warned repeatedly about this particular post. In war, accidents happen, but this seems more like negligence - or worse.

"U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was "deeply distressed" by the "apparently deliberate" strike.

"This coordinated artillery and aerial attack on a long-established and clearly marked U.N. post at Khiyam occurred despite personal assurances given to me by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that U.N. positions would be spared Israeli fire," he said in a statement.

"Furthermore, General Alain Pelligrini, the U.N. force commander in south Lebanon, had been in repeated contact with Israeli officers throughout the day on Tuesday, stressing the need to protect that particular U.N. position from attack."

They were at war, so they were justified.

Same sense that Japan was justfied in attacking Pearl Harbour...another military installation.


Or that the US was justified in bombing military installations in Iraq...

So is anyone not justified? Does one just have to say war and they can be justified doing what ever they want.

Was hitler justified when he was gassing jews. He was at war.

Wow, Kofi is actually accusing them of deliberately attacking? Wonder what led him to that conclusion... We're certainly not getting any details to support that

How do I sound barbaric?

Those regimes need to change. They support terrorism.

Would you rather leave Iran alone and allow them to build nuclear weapons?

How about we just leave Syria alone and allow them to continue to press their crap on Lebanon and form another Hezbollah?

The two countries I just mentioned created and supported Hezbollah. Without them Lebanon would not be dealing with this crap.

A regime change would be great if you could control who is the new regime which we can't do with out a constant military precences. Look how bad Iraq is turning out and we let them form an anti-americian goverment. What do you think those other countries would be like if we tried to force a pro us goverment.

Probably considering we already have forgotten about the train bombings (atleast I assume so since none of our trains are the least bit secure).

Some allies were Aryan as well

This is exactly the "excues ANYTHING" attitude towards Israel that emboldens these murderers to carry out just such heinous acts. The USA created the Israeli military monster and Israel is just simply out of control. Attacking a clearly marked UN installation is proof.

Is there ANYTHING these animals won't stoop to?

For those who are already somehow convinced that Israel deliberately hit the UN post, kindly explain the motivation Israel would have to do such a blatantly stupid act?
