lulu ,   Austria   (07.15.06)
U dont know what you are talking about!!! The Lebanese people are grateful, proud and supported the Hezbollah because these people who protect Lebanon and throw Israel out from their country when Israel kills more that 50,000 Lebanese in 1982 war!!!
93. Plz Read This i live in lebanon
Mk ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (07.15.06)

94. Iran
icedragonbritannia ,   UK   (07.15.06)
Iran is behind this, they control Hezbollah, Hezbollah are a part of or are Iran''s own foreign legion. Take the war to Iran let's get this over and one with it has to come sometime. May as well be now.

Steve ,   NYC   (07.15.06)
That's exactly why Israel will never stop - because she values life and the living - Why don't you stop your corrupt govt from supporting terrorists
96. Its Time to leave
Shaun ,   Jerusalem, Palestine   (07.15.06)
Its good to get a little taste of your medicine. Bring it on. You will never have peace in a stolen land. All Palestine. You have to return and leave Palestine. The olive trees are shedding tears with your presence. You do not belong their and you know it.
97. "End this war today, or we start it."
jamesnpost ,   ABQ NM USA   (07.15.06)
If I were the leader of Israel, I should like to say this: To the government of Lebanon: You say you did not order the dogs who came into my yard and bit my children. But they are your dogs, and they live in your house. If you do not curb your dogs, I will burn your house down, on a Biblical scale. If my soldiers are not safe and well standing free on Israeli soil in two hours, give your souls to Allah now, because you shall not see another sunrise. To the governments of Syria, Iran, Egypt, and others: You wish you had a nuclear weapons program. I do, and a very good one. G-d knows I would rather have peace with you, but if you raise one finger against me to help those dogs, I will reduce your capital city to Trinitite...a field of bubbling green glass. Though I do not always agree with my friend George W. Bush, if this is the apocalypse you would have with me, then to quote him, "Bring it on!" James Nathan Post www.zianet.com/postpubco
98. illusion called... IDF
Roni ,   Ramallah, Palestine   (07.15.06)
It doesn't need a rocket scientist to observe the huge catastrophe that Israel is living these days inspite of the unlimited military capabilities they’ve always talked about. After all we can see how Israel almost abandoned the captured soldier in Gaza after days and days of threatens and preparations, and they didn't even dare to enter Gaza, and now they are stuck with yet a more difficult situation!! The worst thing is that political leaders in Israel are so arrogant and stupid that they won’t learn anything from their faults; the dozens of children and women who were blown into pieces in Gaza didn’t free your guy from there, and by simple mathematics you will fail too in Lebanon, but with more causalities especially in your side. After all, and from these two scenes we can be sure that the only thing (and the best) IDF can do is killing civilians wherever it go. Viva Palestina
99. Israel attack against Lebanon is step #1
Gary ,   Cleveland, Ohio   (07.15.06)
Israel's attack on Lebanon is for the purpose of starting a war that will allow them to nuke Iran. This would be their final solution to the nuclear problem in Iran.
100. Take North Korea out while your at it
Mike ,   Iowa   (07.15.06)
while we appease the left at the bargaining tbl--drop a few bombs on North Korea while your at it and Iran--And then we might stop our talking and join in
101. #71, #81
marianne ,   colorado, usa   (07.15.06)
abdul - hezbullah "gorillas" is right - lol! lulu - yes, the austrians have always had such warm and tender feelings for the Jews...no surprises here, that you would support the 21st Century's answer to the Nazis.
102. Minority American
Michael ,   Cleveland, Ohio   (07.15.06)
@Cody, Indiana, US, Minority American - You are not a minority! Most Americans don't want any part of any war anywhere. We could care less what goes on where except our own neighborhoods. Remember, the majority of Americans did not vote for Bush and certainly will not again!
103. US support of Israel harms US national security, period.
Ben ,   Columbus, OH, USA   (07.15.06)
We support Israel because they are common enemies against militant Islam. We're common enemies against militant Islam (largely) because we support Israel. Anyone else see the circular logic here? There's a reason George Washington said to 'beware of foreign entanglements'....
104. Unrealistic Expectations
Observer ,   Texas, USA   (07.15.06)
The muslim terrorists have gotten their wish; Israel has responded. It will not be long before the whole middle east is in ruins because of the muslim fanatics. The sad part of this is that China and Russia will not do anything to respond - and of course, China and Russia aid the terrorists because the terrorists put the heat on the West. The problem is also that these countries who harbor muslim terrorists are guilty of allowing the muslim terrorists to exist; therefore, innocent people will die because of this. People tend to forget that Germany allowed Hitler to act in a similar way that the muslim terrorists are acting - and Germany was laid to waste.
105. 'innocent civilians' my -$$
mish ,   orange county USA   (07.15.06)
The innocent civilians that some speak of are holding missles that can possibly be used to demolish a nation. These civlians are not innocent! The Israeli army is not only doing this for Israel, but for the future of Lebanon's nation as well. This group is trying to take over the government! Let's just say for instance, the KKK took over the government in the US and then captured soldiers from Canada- then Canada reacts> I know it's an absurd picture- please use your imagination. But don't you think Canada has that right to react to the KKK? Israel is doing the right thing to protect us all from the terror groups that think they can bully us around!!
106. US Needs to Remember Beruit 1983
From the South ,   SC, USA   (07.15.06)
I guess America has forgotten that Hesbollah killed the 241 US Marines in Beruit in 1983 and the soldiers/airmen at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996. They are already America's enemy and we have been impotent for over 20 years to take revenge on the death of our Marines and for 10 years for the deaths of our soldiers in Saudi. They have it out for Americans just as much as they have it out for the Israelis, Jews and Arabs. Their missiles do not discriminate and there are Arab populations in northern Israel that can be hit by those very same missiles that are targeting the Jews. Israel needs to go after the source/root of the problem (Iran and Syria). You know the US will help when we are asked. Besides, we have troops in Iraq, right next door to Syria and Iran. How convenient. We need to take revenge for the loss of our troops and never forget what they died for.
107. To 75
Adrian ,   Birmingham , UK   (07.15.06)
Defend freedom you are so right. Western powers are restricting their armed forces from doing ' a proper job' . If you have the firepower..use it. Politics and embedded news media are sanitising warfare. Warfare is to get the job done , not worry about headlines or pollsters. Release the dogs of war, let them do their job, the job they are trained to do...KILL THE ENEMY....game over
108. God's Chosen People?
God's Chosen Speaker ,   US   (07.15.06)
It's funny that all of you claim to be chosen by god. Both sides claim they are acting out the will of their god. Well God told me, YOU ARE ALL CRAZY. I just wanted to pass that along. Thanks
109. go isreal
bill ,   usa   (07.15.06)

110. Hizballah uses the attack drone
Henry James ,   US   (07.15.06)
2006-07-14 Hizballah uses the attack drone http://inplainview.monitor.us.tt/comm.ME06.htm
111. SHOW THE ARABS THE WRATH OF ISRAEL
HAL TRIPP ,   GUATAMALA CITY   (07.15.06)
IT'S A WAR WITH THE ARABS,IT'S TIME TO SHOW THEM THE POWER OF ISRAEL,WE'RE IN THE FINALS ,NO MORE EXHIBITION GAMES, IT'S THE REAL THING, AM YISROEL CHAI
112. #74, response
Bob ,   Dallas, TX USA   (07.15.06)
And if the sec of st did not a damned thing. Which is why we are in the situation we find today. Clinton also paid off N. Korea thinking they would honor the agreement to not pursue nukes. That really worked too. Wow, how wrong can you be....
113. Hit Iran?!
Me ,   USA   (07.15.06)
Are some of you talkbackers INSANE ?! Hit Iran ? That would be a catastrophe on all sides, First off, Israel hits Iran, Iran hits back, no two ways about it, USA will more than likely be plunged into war with Iran, and then all feces will hit the fan. I dont know where some of you get these dillusions about Israels Army being god-like, sure, they have fantastic technology, but they are also vulnerable, nobody needs that kind of regional war, nobody. Let the U.N handle Iran, let BUSH talk sternly to the Israelis as usual, and let this crap finish. Jesus Christ, ive never seen such a number of civilized individuals acting like such war mongerers.
114. to #23
rich ,   USA   (07.15.06)
Hey Dione - I'm a Christian - If someone slaps me,,I knock their teeth out an make sure they're down - then I turn the other cheek and walk away. Who the hell are you kidding about Christian Love - It's not different from Jewish Love, Hindu Love, Athiest Love. You love your family, friends, and harmless strangers in this world. Those that want to kill you, kill them first. The USA exists because of men who picked up the gun to crush the enemy --- Christian, Jewish, Other & Athiest men. I don't see any "Christian Love" flowing throughout the world either, unless you live on some other world. If Israel puts down it's guard for one moment, every man,woman and child would be slaughtered without mercy within days. Do you think God would come down to help them?? Like he did when they were slaughtered by the nazi's ? I don't think so - because I think the Real God is built into mankind - he hasn't left us stupid - but will allow us to become prey if we don't follow certain natural and obvious precepts.
115. Dear lulu
Mike   (07.15.06)
You cannot obtain any advanced technology by sitting on a carpet speaking to an invisible man 6 times a day and putting your female population behind a brown bag. Follow?
116. Agreed, time to destroy Iran
Mike   (07.15.06)
See subject line. Better now than later. Simple as that.
117. Olmert asked for it.
Jay ,   Los Angeles   (07.15.06)
After wildy overreacting to the capture of one soldier and geting into a quagmire, what happens next? Hizbollah sees that it has an engraved invitation and accepts. Olmert then launches into another quagmire. What happened to the mighty IDF? It has been twice humiliated in cross-border raids. Let's not forget the awe-inspring Mossad, which failed to anticipate either attack, or the rather interesting fact that Hizbollah possesses deadly, accurate, UAVs.
118. To #56 (Scott):
Dave ,   USA   (07.15.06)
You think Israel is losing a lot of support here in the US, only because the only people you talk to are your fellow travelers. Let me guess: The terror attacks in Bombay, Madrid, Bali, and London were also Israel's fault? I thank my lucky stars that crybabies like you don't represent mainstream thought here in the US. American and Israeli leadership *both* increasingly understand that there's only one solution to the Islamic terrorist scourge.
119. Get it over with
Dire ,   You Ess Eh   (07.15.06)
Iran wants to whipe Isreal off the map, I think its time to put up or shut up. I think its time for Iseral to put the smack down on those bitches in the region. Its also nice to have 150,000 US troops stuck in the middle so the US doesn't have to waste time on the deployment.
120. Lie-ran, Leben-gone and DiaSyria
King ,   Portland Or   (07.15.06)
Isreal is going to desimate these 3 clowns... Lie-ran, Leben-gone and DiaSyria have no chance...
