Example #1: "Europeans are silly not to welcome the New Russia." They go on abbout Gorbachev and Putin.

Okay, blah blah blah, emotions are here and there.
Now to common sense. The Cold War was but 20 odd years ago, understandably the threat of world annihalation coupled with growing up with stories and with Putin's not-so-pro view of Democracy would lead some to be a little fearful of Russia.

Example #2: Civilians dying on all sides of the current Israel-Lebanon-Palestine war.

Really, hundreds of thousands, millions of civilians have died in wars this past century. Just because oh, 50 people die here, doesn't mean this country is Satan or they're the worst or they're this and that..

Off of Examples, I believe that this country is headed towards the gutter because passions are overriding everyone's common sense. And the mass media and politicians feed on this.

Russia has contracted to send the bulk of her oil and gas East (to China and Japan). Who thinks, with me, that Europe has been very foolish?

I live in Dubai, which is not in a democratic country. The leader of Dubai has created a city that is one of the fastest growing in the world, with almost zero crime, high levels of population contentment, extreme wealth, exceptional public services and an overall great place to live. Nothing would screw that up more than democracy.

There is hardly even a pro-democracy movement here, because everything works so well without it. The same could be said of other countries in the region. Iraq and Lebanon are the two democracies in the region, aside from Israel, and both are flowing with civillian blood on a daily basis.

So my question is: If Middle Eastern people don't want democracy, isn't that more democratic than forcing "freedom" down their throats?

and return to the way the United States used to be? Like having the respect of other nations? being willing to negotiate long and hard before starting a war? Having consideration for human rights? Having leadership that is not solely bent on their own financial gains? Demanding a ceasefire when Israel goes overboard?

Israel: Strike was a 'mistake'
WHAT THE FU*K IS THIS MISTAKE >>>>
Israeli airstrike hits building housing civilians in Lebanon
At least 54 killed, including 37 children, Red Cross says
Lebanese PM says all talks on hold, calls for cease-fire
Condoleezza Rice's planned visit to Lebanon canceled

-------------------------------------------------
TYRE, Lebanon (CNN) -- Israel said it mistakenly destroyed a four-story building near a Hezbollah rocket-launching site in Qana, Lebanon, on Sunday where the Red Cross said 54 people died, including 37 children.

A Red Cross official said the airstrikes hit a residential building that housed refugees, which Israel said was near Hezbollah rocket launching sites.

"The building itself was not targeted," Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisen told CNN. "The building itself was next to the rocket-launcher sites and we are targeting all of those rocket-launcher sites. This was a mistake and we will have a full investigation."

With their superior military capability and jet fighters given by the USA, why has the cowardly Israeli army not been able to defeat an bunch of fighters with remarkably less? Is it because like all cowards it's easier to beat up on women and children than face a man?

I just don't get it. These cowardly terrorists hide behind children in a war and then somehow manage to get sympothy for their side when those children get killed. What's wrong with people?

Again - we were at war with the Axis, not with Blitzkrieg or naval warfare.

We were at war with the British, not with the way they waged war.

I heard this from a congressman - don't recall his name, but it's a very good point.

We didn't wage a war on blitzkrieg during WW2.

all you people demand an end to violence, but are you so blind as to realize Hezbollah is not asking for peace at all, they're asking for WW3, they don't care if Israel pushes them back because there will always be civilians to hide among

It takes two to tango, and if one side doesn't want peace, how the HELL do you have a ceasefire? have you all gone retarded or did your fathers not beat you enough?

They seem to want to live in the desert. The US seem to have a pathological love for the Israelis, so why not solve the problem in one go and import all of them into some desert area and let's see how long before the American peoples also turn against them.
