Keith from Hertferd; "Thank you for those straight answers Jim.
Common ground."

I told you, Keith..he's the only one with straight dialogue and maintaining civility(though we may disagree, in places). He's putting the other babies to shame!...and USEFUL dialogue is what is needed!!

Give him time to think onto the next two questions...BTW, the way you asked them, DOES, include some 'possible bias contentious judgement calls'....but if it doesn't DE-EVOLVE into all the nitpicking, you can come to a base for resolution!

beardedbruce: (To Greg)"If Israel did not have the defense system to protect their civilians, Gaza would have been carpet bombed after the first few missiles from there, and the death toll for civilians would have been in the tens of thousands.
It is obvious that that would suit you just fine.
I am waiting on ANY suggestion of what else Israel could do to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties when attacking Hamas military installation."


I doubt if Greg is capable of thinking constructively, other than throwing out very juvenile slurs and cat-calls(along with Musket). However, if Greg wants to change that(and not being thought of as a light-weight), it's up to him to follow Jim Carroll's lead, and discuss the issue, sans all the back-biting.......I mean, it's up to him if he wants to be taken seriously, or as a Toy Poodle, yapping ignorable crap.

Bruce: "I am waiting on ANY suggestion of what else Israel could do to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties when attacking Hamas military installation."

There is only one solution, that I can think of, right now....stop the launching of missiles into Israel, so Israel doesn't have to fire back, to protect its citizens and country, by firing into the Hamas bases, surrounded, purposely by design, around the Palestinian people, and their domestic infrastructure.
It's simple common sense....any other suggestions to a solution??

...and as I posted....

"Solutions??

I hear echos,
In a maze of words!"
