8. Yes, well your path of history can be traced . .
Edited on Thu Aug-10-06 01:00 AM by msmcghee
.. back at least 2000 years. And according to that logic Israel is justified to attack any Arab regime anytime Israel wishes - just as Hizbollah or any other group of Arab militants is welcome to kill Israelis at will. Each side has thousands of wrongs that could justify retribution. So lets stop wringing our hands over the dead Lebanese civilians. You just justified all their deaths.

Now that you've justified open and free warfare that will kill hundreds of thousands of civilians - most of them Arab - over the next few months we can all get used to the new war-is-fun meme that you are promoting.

We won't have to settle for TV images from the ME either. Your logic says that Native Americans are fully justified in planting IED's along major interstates to start killing thousands of us white eyes to redress past hostilities and genocides.

Either any aggressive attack is bad and defense against aggression is necessary (as the Israeli attempts to neutralize terrorists both in S. lebanon and Gaza were) - or anything goes. Which is it going to be?
