" but what sort of people think that they have a real country when they have "foreign" troops operating there?"

South Koreans? Germans? Turks? Afghani's?

"We need to get over this stuff about excusing people, because they have evil governments."

Yup it's the Lebanese children's fault. And it was your fault for everything that Clinton did in the name of America we disagree with.

Sorry, I am being deliberatly obtuse and am baiting in my replies above (did ya bite?) - but the real point is that Lebanon is even more complex than Iraq. 40% of Lebanese are actually Christian. Like Iraq, it has been a country where people who have the courage of their convictions to stand up to the political status quo seem to 'disappear'. You may well want to make war with Lebanese, Iranians, and Syrians because that makes everything neater. Me? My battles with Jihadi's where-ever they are.

Don't recall the Lebanese worrying much about Israeli children.

And it IS my fault for whatever Clinton did - I may have voted against him, but he was still my President. I'll resent it like hell if I get attacked for his sins, but I won't complain about the "fairness" of it.

Afghanistan is not a real country - its a collection of mutually hostile tribes that hate outsiders even more than than hate each other.
Germans and South Koreans are hosting foreign troops but they aren't "operating" there - no attacks are being launch from their countries.

Making war on the Jihadis is like making war on the Nazis, but not the Germans. The populace you're trying to distinguish them from are the folks that hide, feed, fund and equip them.
