The country is called Israel, and it's just a bunch of people commiting treason by trying to create their own country withing Israel.

Israel has every right toretaliate against Palestinian terrorist attacks, and anyone who says other can go to h ell.

The U.S. really pisses me off how they condemn Israel for retaliating, while at the same time are bombing the hell out of Afghanistan.

BTW, the U.S. should not have attacked Afghanistan. They should have actually tried to solve the problem and get rid of the terrorism, byt attacking teh actual countries reponsible, such as Syrua, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia (even Bin Laden himself is from Saudi Arabia, and so most of the other terrorists over there).


Anyways, by the U.S. attacking Afghanistan, all they're doing is treating the symptoms of the terrorism, rather than the cause, not to mention pleasing the American public, rather than doing what should be done.

Whoa, back up there. The war between Isreal and Palestine is NOT treason. After WWII, the Jews wanted to leave Germany. Not surprising. The UN had this bright idea to kick the Palestinians out of Isreal, and give it back to the Jews. So the UN basically took away the country and confined them to small areas. Think of it as a modern day America. It originally belonged to the Native Americans, but now it's America. Then it would be the equivilant of saying this country belongs to the indians, and moving all the Americans into reservations.

So in all honesty, the country should still belong to the Palestinians, and what they call "terrorist attacks," is really just an effort to get their country back. So Isreal really has a right to retaliate against the attacks, but the Palestinians also have a right to attack. Simply put, the UN ****ed up on this one.

The US shouldn't have bombed Afghanistan? Why not? Al Qaida was responsable for more than just the plane crash, and they were mainly operating out of Afghanistan. Also, the Taliban were supporting them, and hiding them.

The closest thing any of us have come to living through a war has been Desert Storm/Shield. Of course, that's if you want to consider that a war. But remember when you studied WWII, and Vietnam. Wars don't end in a day, they have very dull moments. You here about something in July 1945, and not another thing until October.

We're in a very political war, and every decision the US makes can effect the entire world. Sure most of the terrorists are from Saudi Arabia, and I am 110% positive this "prince" in Saudi Arabia knows damn well about what goes on, but doesn't care. Should we attack Saudi Arabia? Hell ya, we should destroy the entire country. Problem is, all they have to do is nuke the oil fields, and it's over folks. You know how much of the world's oil comes from Saudi Arabia and the mid-east? Drop a few nukes, and suddenly there's only enough oil there for the Saudis.

We can't just attack everyone we don't like. War is about 40$ military, 60% politics. This war will take time, because we need to be very cautious in what we do. Think of it as te next cold war. It'll be drawn out for years to come.

It reminds me of something Sun Tzu wrote:

"One who knows when he can fight, and when he cannot fight, will be victorious"
