Israel, Lebanon, and Gaza

Whatever the reason and methodology for Irael's existence, the fact remains that they do exist and have the same right and reason to continue as we do. (We didn't exactly take over this country without causing serious harm to the natives). They have demonstrated that they want to live in peace and have been rebuffed too many times to count. They have a right to defend themselves, and Hamas and Hezbellah know perfectly well that their actions are beyond provocative. I believe they are emboldened by their association with Iran, and no doubt are acting up under the direction of Iran's leaders. Personally, I hope they (Israel) kick ass.

Oh goodie. Now I read (in the UK Times) that India is pointing a finger of blame at Pakistan for the recent train bombings. It's the same thing as in Lebanon. India suspects Pakistan militants for the bombings and in turn the Pakistan government for not controlling them.

I wanted to add to the discussion; but everything I have to say is summed up nicely by WB.
