koolspyda said:in iraq the allied forces "claim" victory. well in sorts yes, they got rid of saddam. most man-in-street iraqis are happy with that. what we hear or read of insurgents are people loyal to old regime & who are hell-bent to spanner the spolits of the democracy reforms. The american should get off & leave iraq to iraqi people now.
war is as it, is inevitable it seems, hezbollah knew this (capturing the soldiers) & lead the isreal to retaliate (from the isreal past actions, such a reply is expected).
This time, hezbollah knew it's is doing it to focus on the attention to lebanon (if you didnt know, the lebanese government is crippled by sanctions from the west because hamas was the elected government of lebanon. (food, monetary, supplies, etc are being starved to lebanese government) . Hamas = does not recognise Israel & will wipe out Israel at any possibility.
How else are they to bring in food & supplies to lebanon?? begin a war. It is their strategy. it is to divide the world community. What else is expected from hezbollah/hamas ? sit there & wait/negociate for sanctions to be lifted?? That they will never do as again it falls back to principal 1. (we do not recognise Israel). They have repeatedly said that they are expecting full fledged war & are prepared for it. It is the only way for them.
yes, it a ding-dong situation.
with due respect....i think u got ya fact wrong my fren.....hamas was elected as government of palesteine.....while lebanon government is pro-syrian.....no difference actually...they all arabs.....so...israel gonna win this one...
