war
The daily routine in our apartment now is to switch on CNN in the morning so we at least have more of a worldview than the Sandusky Times can give us. The past week or so, coverage has been on nothing else but the burgeoning Israeli-Lebanese conflict and rightly so. This is going to be politically incorrect.
The guys in Hezbollah are bloody COWARDS.
I mean look at them. They're hiding in Lebanese towns just long enough to fire rockets at Israel and then bugger off, letting the residents of those towns take the brunt of the Israeli retaliation. They're dragging a reluctant country into a war it doesn't want. The Lebanese Army itself has no desire to fight, with the exception of the Shiite muslims among them. Not even them in some cases. Lebanon has made so much progress over the last few decades the last thing they need is all out war against a country that'll likely flatten em with impunity. And the worst part is that Hezbollah is crying and whining over the fact that there IS a retaliation. I've been doing some research on Arab conflict with Israel and it seems that the entire crux of Arab world strategy is to act like a pertinant child. I'm no expert but it seems that the Arabs are always the ones who attack first, get beaten and then start whining about Israel should have just stood by and let them carry out their slaughter. Happened in the 6 Days War, happened in the Yom Kippur War and its happening again right now. And every single time the world laps it up as the Israelis throwing their weight around.
Seriously can you imagine whats must be like to be Israeli? 60 years ago you've had literally millions of your own people get knocked simply because some guy with bad hair decides he can't stand to be in the same room as you. After thats over you finally get a chance to have a place of you own and then you find out that the whole sub-continent can't even stand to breathe the same air that you do. And they outnumber you 10 to 1. For the Israelis, its nothing to do with trying to keep their resources of the hands of others. They have to fight for their very lives. Its something to have someone hellbent on accquiring something you own. Its another thing when all that someone wants is your utter and complete cessation of existance.
If I were an Israeli I'd hit back as hard as I could as well.
