Reality Check, world.

nice practicing is going on eh?
3. And what a joke it was
Talula ,   Israel   (03.20.07)
Good job missiles were not pouring down on us. We didn't even hear the siren from my office (in Tel Aviv). We all carried on working like nothing happened. This reminded me of the first night of the Gulf War, hardly anyone heard the siren and most people slept through it. Good to see things have improved.........................................................................................NOT!
4. A more realistic test would have been...
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.20.07)
... *not* to "temporarily halt" the drill due to the real security warning. Obviously Israel felt compelled to devote resources to a real threat rather than a potential one. But does anyone seriously think the enemy will "temporarily halt" an assault until Israel has spare resources available?

to all the arab writers, if you want to let your opinion know to other people,please write your answers in proper english. instead of spending all your money on terror activities,spend it on good education. thank you.
6. apparently #3 did not get the point
Jones ,   Ber Sheva   (03.20.07)
First of all, the drill was not ment to be a drill for "normal israely" but for the security forces and rescue servives; so that no one acted in your office, explain that everyone exccept you knew what was going on! Secondly, the Home Front command has being delivered flyers in every house in israel, explaining that if you did not hear the siren, you should call and infor the home front about this, so guess you missed this point to! Well... apparently you missed the hole point of todays drill - sad!

8. 7 Casey logical problems
Korem ,   New York, USA   (03.20.07)
The nation with the more powerful military is not necessarily the evil nation. The people who have had more casualties are not necessarily the innocent people. Though many times it is as such, it does not hold true for all wars or conflicts.

Haha... I think you too need to spend some money on education! Sorry, but if you have a quick look at your English you might reconsider what you've said about the other person! Sleep tight!
10. THE REAL ISSUE TODAY WAS....
Yehuda ,   Israel   (03.21.07)
The Kadima government knows that the entire people of Israel have lost complete confidence in them due to the criminal investigations on so many of their members and due to the criminal prosecutions in progress with Ehud Olmert leading the way. Today's air raid sirens sounding all over Israel was 1 of several government planned tactics to regain the publics confidence, so thinks one very foolish Ehud Olmert, nothing he can say nor do will save his political career. Amir Peretz the Israeli minister of defense was excited as one bumbling fool can get when permitted to sound the alarm today, i noticed that not even the birds, cats and dogs took notice in Jerusalem. The exercises held were another desperate act of trying to gain public trust. The Israel public along with the fighting and wounded soldiers were abandoned by the Army's chief of staff Dan Halutz during this last war when Dan was too busy managing his stock portfolio based on his inside information as Army Chief...is that illegal in Canada or America? Guess who abandoned the citizens of Israel along with the fighting and wounded soldiers...Amir Peretz and Ehud Olmert, about a month or so ago Ehud Olmert said openly that it was not so bad if the soldiers being held captive would stay a little longer with their captors, wow what a leader Ehud Olmert, with the Kadima party in power Israel doesn't need enemies.
11. #3 Mr. Attitude, bigger than Texas
(03.21.07)
I reported back when the Gulf War started that noone in my area heard the siren - we reported AGAIN that we didn't hear the siren yesterday. I guess living in beer sheva would make you feel nasty and irritable, t ry moving.
12. Buisness as usual.....
James ,   Gainesville, U. S. A   (03.21.07)
Most amazing, the prophecies written over 2000 years ago which were given to the prophets which came from the G-d of Israel, are unfolding right before our eyes each day. 1.5 billion muslims call for a world reality check, when in fact they need it theselves. Victory may be in their sight, when in the end eternal defeat waits. Everything is buisness as usual in Israel with jokes about the sirens which should tell everyone in this dark world that soon, tribulation and the day of the Lord is going to take everyone by suprise. That is true reality. And on that day, proper english, jokes will mean nothing. Get ready people, the day of, is coming. How do I know this?, I read and believe the bible and you will see, It is realty, not a joke....
