Subject: RE: BS: Another dictator to turn on the U.S.
Guest dianavan, the answers to your questions are as follows
Answer 1 - None
Answer 2 - Same people as protected them before

Observation:
Dianavan I asked you to give me an example of Israeli treats against their neighbours. You know something in the same sort of vein as these:

Example A from Egypt:
"We shall not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand. We shall enter it with its soil saturated in blood."

Example B also from Egypt:
"we aim at the destruction of the State of Israel. The immediate aim: perfection of Arab military might. The national aim: the eradication of Israel."

Example C from Iraq (Pre-March 2003):
"The existence of Israel is an error which must be rectified. This is our opportunity to wipe out the ignominy which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear -- to wipe Israel off the map."

Maybe the "Palestinians" might have a country if those they elected as leaders just for once actually provided some leadership and acted in the best interests of those who elected them, instead of in the best interests of themselves. Now tell us Dianavan how big was the fortune that Arafat amassed while his "Palestinian people" starved? Easy enough to find out Dianavan just consult Forbes.

The Israelis have threatened Lebanon? When was that Dianavan? Before or after the campaign in which Hezbollah fired between 3,970 and 4,228 Katyusha Rockets at civilian built-up areas in Israel?

Oh! That reminds me Dianavan, something that refers back to your suggestion that the Israelis should set a good example. IIRC the conflict in South Lebanon was ended by a UN brokered cease-fire, which like all others had terms and conditions, which the Israelis fulfilled. Now come Dianavan tell us all what progress Hezbollah have made in keeping their part of the bargain. Seems to me Dianavan that it doesn't matter how many times Israel sets a good example the other side never feels the need to respond in kind.

If you actually look into the history of things Dianavan the "other countries in the Middle East who feel threatened" probably had very good cause to fear retribution for the threats that they themselves made. But not to hammer too much on the semantics but "feeling threatened" does not quite equate to "being threatened". One is a subjective evaluation the other is a recorded matter of fact. Now give me an example of Israeli treats against their neighbours.

A little secret Dianavan, I cannot think of one single nation on this planet whose very creation didn't resulted in death, injury, homlessness and poverty for countless numbers of people. That especially is true of the land you came from and the land to which you ran.
