The State Department tells you not to go there. You do. You can't even take a direct flight there because they won't let our airlines land there. The area has been in upheaval for as long as I can remember and you want to vacation there? Why should I as an American taxpayer bail you out??? Don't complain about the slowness of the response you are lucky we came for you at all. Don't complain that you don't have food or blankets. Run out to the store and buy them before you get on the free boat ride!

Just some hours back I was watching a channel of the Indian TV and in the news there was an item; in that President Musharraf is asking for the valid proof for the particiapation of Pakistan based terrorists in the recent bomb blasts in the suburban trains at Mumbai & elsewhere. He has to find it out from his inteligence ISI to identify the group involved in these activities. Once an Indian Airlines flight was highjacked to Afghanistan and the passengers were exchanged for criminals in the dress of the clergy! They are still at very large at Pakistan and are leaders of the so called freedom movement out fits. Why they are not conducting their liberation activities inside Pakistan as there are a number of problems are felt by local Muslims themselves. Why they teach Islam to Indians in India?

How soon must we use the words "war crime"? How many children must be scattered in the rubble of Israeli air attacks before we reject the obscene phrase "collateral damage" and start talking about prosecution for crimes against humanity?

What exactly do our politicians mean when the say we support Israel in its action against Lebanon? What is it that they support? Surely not this carnage?

In my life war has solved alot of things...1. I am not a Nazi, 2. I am not a communist, 3. I do not pay taxes to the English Throne, etc. etc.
When Israel obeyed God and went to the Land of Canaan, for which God gave them, they had to fight at times...and God was with them!
We [believers] are to be peacemakers, like Jesus said, yet, to simply run out and join the closest pacifist movement is not consistent with biblical examples.
I think our notion of what is right and wrong with regards to war is not entirely consistent with God's understanding. Similarly, our notion of love is vastly different than the love of God. I think the notion of when to war and when not to war is complicated, and should be analyzed within a biblical context.
I know my grandparent's fought in WW2, and they were proud to do so. They did not start it, but ended it. They sacrificed greatly, and in my opinion, solved alot...there efforts were not in vain as some might lead me to believe.

They are killing thousands of innocent civilians and displacing hundreds of thousands out of their homes just because they can, and no one is stopping them. It's obscene. It's like watching a high school student beat the sh*t out of a first grader. Their excuse is they are fighting Hezbolla, but they are acting like Nazis to do it. Who are the real terrorists in this situation?

I posted something similar 2 days ago where i asked people to look at the pictures in the web site below and give me their feedback on what they think of the Israeli incursion and massacre in Lebanon.
Apparently, to my bifg surpise, 99% of the people weren't even affected by the body of lebanese children killed by the Israelis. and instead of attacking the israeli massacre of the innocent, they defended israel and its actions.
I don't know about you, but to me, regardless of the reason, when someone coldlessly kills defensless children, one should attack that entity right? Well how come it's an exception when it comes to arabs? are they perceived as animals in the eyes of the west?
