You could say that about most Americans on this site who ask why not an all out war.
As I have stated before there are major reasons such as the fact that Israel does not want to destabilize those Arab countries that while not friendly towards Israel are not hostile either.
LOL you talk about striking targets in Saudi Arabia, that is one of the countries America is relying on to help bring stability to the region.
It seems that your answer to a small fire is to set the whole region alight.
Israel may not see it that way because while she is coping with terrorist attacks, she will not be able to cope with a total war.
Yes she has operation Samson but it is a last results.
The fallout do you think it will miss Israel that she will not have her food and water contaminated.
I am confused. Do you not understand that the ONLY message radical Islam understands is that of brute force, anything less is viewed as weakness? Have you ever spoken to one of these freaks?
You must understand Israel's position, they are fricken surrounded by the enemy. Their cult preaches the total destruction of Israel. I don't feel sorry for the people of Lebannon, they willingly and knowingly harbor terrorists in their communities thereby allowing them to fire missiles into Israel FIRST. Israel is well within their right to protect themselves.
No rational person wants war but consider the reason behind the tone of numerous comments on this website. The cry or demand for war is a sign of the frustration, anger and hatred in the hearts of the American people. We no longer care so much about the "poor suffering people in the middle east", we are tired of being the ones held to the higher standard.
I am disgusted that a single US Marine had to set foot on that soil to help a bunch of people I am will to guess are probably at the minimum terrorist facillitators. Yet again the military has to belittle themselves in order to appease people who have no idea of what they ask.
Your comment about the food and water supply is true of course. If Israel uses nukes they will contaminate themselves however I believe the Israeli government as well as their citizens are close to the point where they will seriously consider that option as they have no other choice. I admire the courage of the Israelis, I hate to admit it but they are much stronger than our population.
A sure sign of the lack of support for Israel and the lack of support for them was given yesterday by that idiot Kofi Anan.
One more quick question and I will stop, who the hell is he and how do we get rid of him? I am starting to think A.Q. has a guy on the inside.
