The HEARTLESS and the MINDLESS are unable to win the hearts and minds of anything and (no offence MY FRIENDS) it's foolish to assume so. NOW THAT’S PRECISION BOMBING.

(www.thenobleidiot.com) I think Israel's biggest problem with Hezbollah isn't the rockets they're launching, it's the orphanages they run and schools they build and the shelters they provide the poor (and now bombed-out) citizenry in southern Lebanon. When they're doing good deeds like that for people, of course people are going to believe that Hezbollah is fighting to protect them. By bombing them, Israel is playing right into Hezbollah's hands. Every bomb that falls is another potential terrorist. If they want to end the hostility, they have to give the people there a reason not to be hostile.

It's business. Why? Israel is our barking dog in that corner of the world, and we use them to maintain instability in the region. This helps produce unrealistic oil prices and makes American oil more valuable. That means a lot if your backround and major backers have American oil that is devalued because its lower quality. Plus, if you have a war machine economy it's win-win on two levels. The tide raises all ships, the American oil and coal based oil can no be produced at prices to compete with OPEC or it would stay in the ground. Can't sell it if it's underground... no reason to dig it up if you can't sell it! Nope, not “macho-bullshit” . It’s business. Why?

For the military, war is a necessity. For the belic industry, it's a necessity. It's pretty lame how the international midia keeps using the word "terrorist" to define those groups, as if the Israeli state is not terrorist. State terrorism seems to be ok, yet people defending their families and communities are labeled terrorists and rebels because no one considers the destruction these people have to deal with.So if they kill 5 israelis, they are terrorists and if 30 of their families are destroyed by an Israel missile, then that's just war casualities. I'm not defending extreme tactics, it's just that the whole thing is so hypocritical. The midia spreads the word and the international comunnity buys it. It's all crap...
