okay...

being of lebanese heritage myself i ask myself how the israeli government can get away with the murder of innocent people, whilst the entire world and the 'champion of peace' (aka the USA) actually condone such blatant acts of war.

so i ask the likes of powerclown and mobo one question.

lets take the scenario and justify what israel has done.

so some wacko group on the border with israel kidnaps 2 soldiers and holds them hostage to be swapped for other prisoners, putting national security at stake and the lives of every lebanese national not to mention the hundreds of thousands of holiday makers at stake..and yes that includes my wife and her family are there in lebanon on a holiday shes has been talking about since the day i met her....

so israel decides that hesbollah practically uses the national airport as some sort of base, that all the ports are used to smuggle arms, so israel decides to block all ports coming into the country, the infrastructure like runways and bridges which are vital to the economy of a nation recovering from 15 years of civil war are supposedly fair game.

and all Bush has to say is that israel has a right to self defence and that syria is to blame? i dont know if the whole world is oblivious to this, but this is what i call WAR! unjustified attacks on a democratically elected govenment which doesnt support terrorism (as is the case of hamas) is unacceptable to any decent human being.

i compare bushs' blessings to the blessings the US gave saddam to invade kuwait back in the 90's...i wonder what will prevail...

anyways back to my point....

so if say the USA or another group from within the USA..say the CIA took the nationals of another country hostage, prisoner etc, without the knowledge of another country...in a military operation or otehrwise, would that be justified? and if not then does the country who wants their citizens back have the right to bomb infrastructure in the US?

take guantanamo for example... illegally held prisoners...held under false pretenses.....or maybe the secret rendering of terrorism suspects by the CIA...can a country that objects to the detention of their citizens have the right to attack the USA and its infrastructure based on the same justifications that israel has used against lebanon?

just a few thoughts.....all posts welcomed.
