Re: Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Lebanon purports to be a sovereign country [/ QUOTE ] I always wonder how people can support some of Israel's more extreme actions, and then I heard statements like this, which apparently suggests that sovereignty is based on how much a nation's policies agree with Israel's, and I don't wonder anymore. [/ QUOTE ] I think Bluff's doubts about Lebanon's real sovereignty come more from it being run by Syria for the past 20 years than from its failure to fall in with Israel. In any case, I think this is a terrible move by Israel given the progress that Lebanon has made in the past 18 months. The goal should be lessening the influence extremists have in Lebanon, not driving the government into their arms.

[/ QUOTE ] Their sovereignty could have been brought into question when Syria held the real power in the country - even then, however, Israel could not use Syria's control over Lebanese government to assert that it has the right to be aggressive towards Lebanon.

[/ QUOTE ] Or... he could be saying that Lebanon is just a puppet regime for Syria, which it is... I don't think anyone really disagrees on this point? Do you remember who killed the former lebanese prime minister a few months ago? Hint: It wasn't the Israelis.

Re: Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
[ QUOTE ]
I like this quote. [ QUOTE ] I was summoned to see Ben-Gurion. It was the first time I met him, and right from the start Ben-Gurion said to me: "Let me first tell you one thing: it doesn't matter what the world says about Israel, it doesn't matter what they say about us anywhere else. The only thing that matters is that we can exist here on the land of our forefathers. And unless we show the Arabs that there is a high price to pay for murdering Jews, we won't survive." [/ QUOTE ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Sharon [/ QUOTE ] It's a great quote and precisely the reason why a "disproportionate" response to each and every Arab incursion is necessary. Israel's neighbors would gladly trade the death of one of their citizens for the death of one of Israel's citizens.
