1) "The cluster bomb does NOT destroy a target, it sanitises an AREA"

Interesting term. They sanitise an area. Hmm. Sanitise: to clean, ethnically cleanse maybe?

2) "BBruce:Guest Nick,

" Hezbollah's rockets are bascially like big fireworks - light the fuse and stand back - they could end up anywhere."

Glad you admit that Hezbollah has commited war crimes"

Sure, happy to oblige. The HRW has declared that firing rockets onto civilians is a war crime, that's good enough for me. Nor, for the record do I deny their use of terrorism, i.e that they are a terrorist organisation in methods. I extend that definition though to the Israeli State as it stands. Simply because they wear uniforms etc., doesn't let them off the hook. Terrorising their opponents, whether military or civilian, is one of their tools of trade. Can you bring yourself to make the same admission?

BTW the point was that Israel, with its high-cost, high precision bombs, and its claim to be a law-abiding (i.e non-terrorist) state shouldn'tbe killing any civilians. It is very hard to explain how they killed the ones going to a funeral for instance, if their bombs are so damn accurate, and their care not to hit civilians as high a priority as they say. Not to mention the palestinians they kill all round while attempting to get just one guy driving along in a car (so-called 'targeted assasinations') That's a side show of killing and disreagrd for civilan life that's being going on all along as athe world's eyes were on Lebanon. Maybe if the US was willing to invest some money in helping make the Hezbollah rockets as accurate as the Israeli ones, Hezbollah could aim them more effectively at the IDF military machine and avoid the civilians, just as Israel did.

PS - once again, forgot to put my name to last post (about the phones). Just to keep the record straight.
