You know better than that. Were Israel to decide that collateral damage (i.e., civilian deaths) are not a concern, what's Lebanon's shelf life? We can always adopt the United States' bombing techniques, which have taken nearly a million civilian lives in Iraq, Afghanistan and Waziristan. Probably Libya, too. Would you like that better? Would you also prefer it if the Brits were to bomb hell and gone out of those six counties? Is that what you're looking for? Trust me -- Israel can bring it. The question is .... should we? Personally? I say yes. We should. Is there anything else you think I need to be reminded of?

....should be more concerned with what Sweden is doing. Where are the Swedish plans to attack Iran? If you're so gung-ho about somebody going to war with the Iranians, why not lobby your government to make it happen? Or are you only a tough guy when it's others who face the risks?

that the US is really an immoral nation, as opposed to a godly "Christian" one, where the bombs aren't just "bursting in air". My delicate psyche just won't be able to cope with it.

Drafted only? Didn't serve in Vietnam?

So I hit a weak spot Eh ?. If one cant go against the Message, go against the Messenger !. By the Way - The Taylor have no hint about my concern regarding Sweden, it is more intense than here. Further - Give me according to my statements regarding this article, The Command over the Big and Greatt Power of the Military Force of the US, and the difference of my action in comparison to Obamas would wery different. Further - Or are you only a tough guy when it's others who face the risks? Comment - Well - now I am going down to the play the small Boys have among themselves, when they compare to se whom have the Biggest One. I Voluntered on the side with the Bosnianserbs during the Civil War in former Yugoslavia, and what I did I will ceep to Myself. By Jerk !- Arn.Sweden.

Babe, as always, I am the whisper of cold realism when you start pounding that drum.

As you well know, drafted could also mean 'served in'. As you also well know, drafted means they do with you as you want. 'Volunteering' can also mean the same. When an IDF soldier is drafted, he can be a fighter or a clerk. I may glorify one, but will not disparage the other. Mark is saying that members of his family served. It is not easy for a parent when that happens, be it in Israel or the US. I disagree with his usually warped views. But I am not about to disparage him by grasping at straws (assuming that his post #18 is true).

Uh-oh. I have some really unpleasant news for your delicate psyche ....

Go back and read your Bible, baby boy. Read about all the "nations" and "ethnicities" that ruled the roost, back then. How many are still around? Jews, on the other hand, are still here, and doing better than ever. That's your "cold realism," mameleh.

Mark is saying that he managed to dodge the draft. Having x number of children serve doesn't change the facts.

I fail to see how "I was drafted for Vietnam" shows that he managed to dodge the draft.

Do not trust the United States. As an American citizen, I see Obama as an enemy of all that America has stood for. Obama is a Marxist and Islamic believer. Israel can depend on the American People, as we stand with with you. If only your Mossad could expose Obama ...out him. I do not believe he was born in the US, and his past is scrubbed clean--very unusual. Iran must be stopped, and Obama will not help, because I bellieve he supports the Iranian Terrorist government.
