I just never realized that war is like that. I’m sure those images are great recruiting tools for Hizballah.

Also, regarding the $1.5 billion that Israel has put out there. I think most of it is in lost business from companies closing and people not coming to work and less than actual physical damage to buildings and roads.

On the other hand, you should calculate it the same way when assessing damage to Lebanon’s tourist industry. It definitely doesn’t make sense that Lebanon’s figure is only 2x that of Israel.

The father of modern conservatism, William F. Buckley, on President Bush: “If you had a European prime minister who experienced what we’ve experienced it would be expected that he would retire or resign.”

Too bad we’re not a real democracy.

Good Morning all. I think not…..CNN has had some coverage from the Lebanon side, massive distruction shown compared to Israel. Of course Israel keeps wining they were attacked first and making out like their losses are higher and since the news reports show mostly them one would think that to be true…..For several day’s now the losses of citizens in Lebanon have been much higher than Israel. Just this morning 37 Israel’s dead to 400 on the Lebanon side.

A tiny mention here when the 2 children were killed by Hezbollah the leader of them appoligized on the news media for the losses………..I have not heard a mention of appologee or any note of sincere concern from the Israel murderers for killing the family on the beach, bombing the buses carring men, women and children after Israel had droped bombs and leaflets telling the people to leave Lebanon. All I keep hearing over and over again is it is their right to stop Hezbollah….The entire bunch of lies are not panning out when you look at the actual distruction being unleashed and condoned by Israel and america…Look at the losses and to whom is paying the cost…….Tit for tat is beyond all this madness….

I am an old woman and only capable of protecting my little patch of land and helping my close neighbors to do the same, but if I did have the ability, I would be over there helping the Lebonese….I didn’t feel that way to this extreme untill now…..It sickens me that it is our supplied bombs and support fueling this murderious madness……

If we cut the funds to our own government maybe we could stop all the killing all over the world…. If we had massive shut downs, sick days where all the concerned citizens here just didn’t go to work on a given day maybe this administration would be forced to listen. Even if it were just the minorety that stage the walk outs we could shut the country down, no work, no buying, no nothing that supported all the killing around the world..Peaceful shut downs and cutting the funds may be all that will work….

Have all the posters that agree with my thinking written, called and faxed their representatives? If not why not.? Do something please, I am…..Blessings…Peace…..Demand it now…..Show outrage and help stop the killings and wars….

Or perhaps the media will stop thinking “Hey, this is now newsworthy” and broadcasting non-stop coverage of such things.

I would be more impressed if they had announced it in advance and said “we want to bring stability to the region so we’re going to try democracy”.

Z.

100 “senators” + 410 “representatives” = 510 war criminals + X number of bush regimists + Y number neo-cons + Z number of zionist sympathizers/murdrers.

maybe this whole equation will cancel itsellf out and go away

Two words, “Tony Blair”.

Can you imagine what the legal and financial consequences could be if a Corporation held the patent on human genes?

Corporations already hold patents on many, if not all, the seeds for the food we eat. And when patented plants cross-pollinated with non-patented plants in the fields, Corporations have been able to get compensation for the “appropriation” of their patented material. Apply the same logic to human offspring from someone who has been treated via stem-cell research and …??? Could parents be made to pay royalties to Corporations?

As for Israel’s damage > a few dozen homes damaged or destroyed; a few apartment buildings damaged; a few businesses damaged; train station roof blasted; misc. damage to other facilities and roads; etc. > looks like millions to me and NOT 1.5 billion!

AS for what the actual figures are? Nobody knows at this time, only guesstimates!

I just find it odd…

1.5 Billion damage, 36 deaths
3 Billion Damage – 400+ deaths?

Who’s kidding who… Geuss all the jews were not at home or work when the rockets fell.

Despite everyone’s initial fear of world war 3, this will not occur. In fact, the opposite result is far more likely. Iran will find itself in a deeper hole than it imagined (becareful for what you wish for you just might get it). Syria will cut and run from its support of Hezbollah and Iran in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and the chance to regain a portion of the Golan Heights. Further, Israel will accept European peacekeepers (something they previously would not) provided they will actually keep the peace and prevent Hezbollah attacks. Any hesitation on the part of the EU to provide these troops jeapordizes the European claims of wanting to play a greater role in the mideast. So the EU will send in its troops and become fully engaged. Hezbollah having already cost itself support, will hesitate to endanger the sympathies of Europe through additional violence when it is already part of the Lebonese gov’t.

Next, because enough in the arab world have been willing to criiticize Hezbollah for causing this action and have chosen to remain on the sidelines instead of attack Israel as they have in the past, perhaps to punish Iran for fomenting trouble in their own countries, shows that the mideast is actually far closer to a comprehensive settlement involving recognition of Israel’s right to exist and full economic cooperation, in exchange for the creation of a palestinian state with all “militant” groups joining a coalition government and with financial payments from Israel to those displaced from 1948 but no right of return since they will have their own country. Upon these conditions the world will then resume full financial assistance to the palestinians. Israel will also be expected to provide some financial assistance to help rebuild both the new palestinian country and Lebanon.

However, for this to work, Russia and other pro-arab countries will also have to agree that any resumption of terrorist attacks, such as missles launched into Israel will require an immediate cessation of all aid, including humanitarian to that particular country . Thus the governments with terrorist elements will have a direct incentive to move against those willing to put their own interests above their people’s best interests.

Simplistic? Perhaps. But, also workable. In the end, its never been about the land. It’s about respect and above all else, its about money. All of the mideast nations stand to gain financially from peace. Especially as the world seeks alternative sources of energy which directly effects the oil producing nations bottom lines. Money talks and BS walks.
