Would this stop genocide because death seems to be the only language that Global powers understand...
We don't seem to believe in rules of engagement anymore. Whole Lebanon was devastated for two Israeli soldiers even though Israel holds thousands of Lebanese people captive with no remorse. While the focus was on Lebanon, Israel managed to kill 150 civilians in the occupied territories...
If the Westerners have flattened the definition of terrorist to mean a non-white person would it be just to render all White men as neo-colonist serial genociders and thus culpable?
Fortunately I am a pacifist... but i find it increasingly hard to argue with those who believe violence is the only answer.

You are absolutely correct. 9500 Arab soldiers are imprisoned in Israel right now. Hezbollah is a party in Lebanon that cannot be controlled, even by its own government. Israel does have the right to defend itself, but I never knew that means Israel has the right to go dropping random bombs over the villages in Lebanon. VIOLENCE IS NOT KEY AND IT WILL NOT STOP ANYTHING! If only we had intelligent people who would listen.

Man there are many forces behind what is going on in Lebanon. Isreal, Hezbollah, and the Palestinians have been playing the game of getting prisoners and then swapping them. Right now Isreal holds 3 Lebonnese prisoners and they hold hundreds if not thousands of Palestinians. However since the Iraq war the Sunnis have been troubled by the instability. King Abdullah of Jordan was on American television last year saying that he did not want a crescent of Shia power cutting across the Middle East. However, this has happened. Iran, Iraq, and Hezbollah cuts a path across the Middle East. If you can remember when the hostilities started a lot of Arab countries were mad at Hezbollah and they were in behind Isreal and the United States. However they are losing support in their own countries but do not get it wrong. They want Isreal to beat Hezbollah just as the United States administration does. This is a two edge sword though because if Hezbollah loses too much power then Al-Queda can come in and attack the Holy Land. Al-Queda hates Hezbollah because they prevent Al-Queda from coming into the Holy Land. Hezbollah hates Al-Queda because of September 11, 2001. It was once reported that the Saudi Arabians said that they would rather live with the Jews than with the shites. That is why Egypt and Jordan have peace treaties with Isreal and although Saudi Arabia is not their friends they could be a lot more of an enemy. All are wrong in this battle.

War, no matter what shape it takes, is always sad and horrible things happen. I don't believe it has a single thing to do with race or any of that crap. I believe that the human race is at war with themselves and we are headed down a path of self destruction!
