every last one of them must be killed...

and the "religious clerics" that teach them.

Hezbollah is hitting Israel with a missile a minute according to one report. At exactly what level of bombardment would it take to get the Greeks to defend themselves? One? Two?

"Hezbollah is hitting Israel with a missile a minute according to one report. At exactly what level of bombardment would it take to get the Greeks to defend themselves? One? Two?"

They are not saying anything that any of the other Countries are not saying. So lets see, what do some have their panties caught in a knot over and I'm just using the direct quotes from the government speaker, and not what the reporter is writing since we have seen how newsreporters can twist things around in their articles to fit their views. So lets see:

"Greece expresses its serious concern and is intensely troubled," Antonaros said.

Hmmm, do any of you guys see the words: over Israeli attacks in Lebanon in that quote? I sure as hell don't. Infact its not even part of the quote but added later by the reporter, which can alter the meaning of the report, a method which we know newsreporters use.

"It is vital, to stop the (situation) worsening, Hizbullah must immediately release the soldiers taken hostage," he said.

Ok, so here he is agreeing with the release of the soliders.

"At the same time, Greece calls on the government of Israel to avoid the use of excessive and pointless force which cannot provide a solution to the problem."

He doesn't tell Israel to stop bombing Hizbullah ALL TOGETHER but to "avoid the use of excessive and pointless force", a sentiment echoed all over the world including the United States. Don't forget half of the Lebanese populations are Christians. None wants to see this get out of hand, especially the countries closest to the conflict and out of all the European countries Greece, is the most concerned since it lays closest to the region of conflict, aside from Cyprus that is, which is another concern for Greece if the fighting does spread. So maybe none of you give a flying-f what Greece thinks but it and many other countries have a more legitimate reason to be concerned in not having this spread any further then it has to. Plus don't forget those civilian cruise ships that France, the USA ect ect are using to ferrie their people from Lebanon, all come from Greece since its the closest European country with the resources to ferry them out.
