Israel seemingly massing troops toward Syria

[irishgrl]

Israel has been harrassed by its Arab neighbors ever since its inception. I for one sympathise with Israel and the Israelis who have had to endure CONSTANT bombings for decades. Where was the outrage from the World Community then?

Iran is (and always has been) unstable, its leaders (aside from the Shah) absolutely RABID about anything Western or Democratic. I know there have been small glimmerings of hope from a more "Western-friendly" faction, but those factions cant seem to gather enough support to be viable.

Tommer, you make good points as always--the high toll in civilian life is directly the fault of Hizbollah who use civilians as "shields" and deliberately mix with and hide among people who are no part of this mess. Thus the tragic loss of civilian lives. The only place I would (and have) disagree with you is that I think this will have no speedy end. Unfortunately.
