I hope Isreal gets their ass kicked. Hell they stole the land anyway

Slow afternoon?

Little bit.

I almost bought it. Your trolling style is weak today.

Really. At least you could have conjured up some lame ass Hitler quote.

What about all the good things Hitler did?

Yeah I am a little tired too. Sorry guys I will refocus my efforts next time I agree Claus if not for Hitler our society would not have progressed as far as it has in the past 60 odd years. He did build a strong nation.

Clearly not this though:

7 3/4, except during solar flares when my head swells and hurts like hell. I hate when that happens.

Isreal is concidering sending in ground troops... just as I planned. I mean, whatever could they be up to?

They were just waiting for an excuse... still, some suckers just never learn! Best wishes to both sides... wait while I get my popcorn...

Best wishes to both sides?

The other side is terrorists. Are you so completely ignorant or completely insane that you offer best wishes to terrorists.

"Do you know him?. No but he looks like a real asshole"

Maybe both..

Maybe neither...
Lots of emotions flow around this topic
There are some terrorists involved, but they are the vast minority, most of the dead are neither the good or the bad guy. Question is who do you think is who, and how do you know?

Easy. One side wants to kill everyone in a country, while the country in question is defending itself. I have little doubt that Israel will invade and re-establish the buffer region they had, before Clinton convinced them to give it back to Lebanon as a good faith gesture. That worked well. :rolleyes:

Oh well, as I said, most are simply misguided. If that's a reason to bomb someone's ass then I should kill quite a few of the people around me. Now the leaders - I would have no qualms about laser sighting and sending a big one.

Perhaps I should have said, best of luck to the 'casualties of war'.. But it may be a bit late for them.

Im pissed that the moderate movement in the Middle East is now officially dead.

Those young people within Iran and Lebanon who only a few years ago were so vibrant and energized are now irrelevent because the orgy of violence.

I rememeber a few years ago HUGE student protests in Iran for democracy. Lebanon was a budding democracy, now they look desperatly at the only people responding to the attacks, the terrorist group Hezbolah.

What makes you think that the pro-democracy movement in Iran is dead?

The Islamo-fascist rulers of Iran squashed the protests, arrested thousands, and outlawed further protests.

That doesn't mean the movement is dead or that many people don't want the mullahs out of control.

What?

What the hell are you talking about?

Weasel, the "moderate" movement in Iran never really had a snowball's chance in hell. This recent flare-up between Israel and Hezbollah hardly constitutes its death knell. The 2004 parlimentary elections in Iran saw 70% of the reformist candidates banned from the ballots by the Council of Guardians. Former President Khatami had sold out the reformist movement before that though, toning down his rhetoric because of fear of reprisal from Khamenei. I once had hope when Khatami first came to power, but alas, Iran has retrenched.

Well, I agree that the sentiment for "democracy" still exists, but the official movement has certainly taken many leaps backward in the past two-plus years. IMO, it's going to take outside force to remove the leadership structure. I just cannot see it coming from within in the current Mid East climate.

It doesn't have any chance of coming from within unless the people over there do it via a bloody revolution. The mullahs will never give up control. They have no problem with killing their own people to keep power.

There should most definitely be help from the outside but when it comes down to it, the Iranian people are going to have to do it themselves. That means some will die because the mullahs will only be removed by force.

That is of course assuming that we don't take them out ourselves first.
