The middle east

"...the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge."
-Machiavelli

It's good to see the Israelis finally doing something about Hezbollah. I think Israel pussyfoots around with terrorists too much. Let me explain. Whenever Israel responds to attacks, they do things like blow up the PA ministry of this or that at 1:30 AM, when nobody is in the building. When terrorists launch Qassam rockets, Israel shells empty fields. All this does is piss off your enemies without providing a deterrant, or preventing revenge. They're on the right track in their airstrikes targeting terrorist leaders. They need to step that up. They also need to infiltrate terrorist neighborhoods with snipers and spotters. The drones are also good.
Now, thanks to Lebanon, and probably Iran, Hezbollah is firing russian Katyusha rockets. Those babies are a far cry from the home-made Qassam rockets that Hamas has been firing.

I can sort of understand, since "the world community" crucifies them when they respond in any way, much like they are getting crucified right now. Imagine if mexicans fired rockets every day into San Diego. How long do you suppose we'd put up with that?
Israel's only option is to utterly crush its enemies. They are not going to be able to do that without killing a few innocents, especially with the masterful way that terrorists use them as cover.
Israel needs to develop an aggressive, long term plan for either changing the palestinian people or wiping them off the planet. They need to convince both the arabs and the world that the suffering that they dole out is the fault of the terrorists.
There's no other way.

  • I agree totally with you. I think that the "Jews" have been the red headed-bastard-step child for way too long. I'm not Jewish, on the contrary...I was raised Roman Catholic.......but I think that they, i.e. the Jews, ought to kick serious ass. Muslims, for the most part...are lemings. They will follow what and/or whomever has the loudest voice. I can say that with all clarity because my sister-in-law is a convert, and I hear her CRAP often.
