Subject: RE: BS: An interesting viewpoint on Lebanon
"If the UN and Lebanese don't do it, the Israelis will."

They can TRY...

Not too sure the Israeli populace will be so eager to be fooled to believe that it will be easy next time - their elite 'invincible' military machine got a bloody nose this time, against 'those primitive undisciplined poorly equipped untrained stupid gooks'... say, where have I heard that before... and just how many times before...

War is a process of attrition, economic, resources, morale, political, population, goodwill of 'friends', etc... and if a country insists that all its citizens do military service, and then insists on attacking the civilian homes of its opponents, then wailing about their own civilian's homes being targeted seems a little 'precious' to me...

There are ALWAYS other options.... other than 'War Without End'...
