Somebody has to be part of the UN presence there. Israel had to do the job of stopping arms from Syria getting int Lebanon this morning, a job the UN is supposed to be doing. I hope that Britain will be part of this. They're good folks.

The British went down the drain a long time ago.
Judging by the complaints against Blair, the people think that the army is only for chocolate soldiers.
Israel is a state, a member of the united nations, while the various terrorist groups in Lebanon are just terrorist groups.
Israel is entitled to defend itself against the terrorists and the British should not get in the way, and then cry about the consequences.

The British Army is overstretched and undermanned due in no small part to the policies of the Blair Government in support of Dubya's manic desire to write himself into history.
The British Army is excellently trained in all aspects of conflict plus, of course, in the "hearts and mind" peace-keeping role - something that no other armed force is capable of doing at present. In spite of their many gifts I sincerely hope that we don't ask our boys to go to the Lebanon - it's about time all the bleeding heart protesting nations of the globe put their men where their mouths are and send their troops to keep the peace. Mind you I don't believe there's a force, of the numbers needed, that will be able to carry out the function in the face of a determined Israel focussed on their survival should the terror groups begin again in their attempt to wipe Israel of the face of the earth.

Yes the British army will go into Lebanon but only as part of a UN force. The Lebanese people simply want peace, they want to raise their children, they have ambitions for them. They actually want peace to do this, they want to be a part of the wider and, more importantly, they want their children to be. It's a terrible situation but it's got to be resolved.

No. I'm British and I think they should not go. We have wasted our boys' lives in Iraq they shouldn't have to go and clear up Lebanon as well.
Its not our war.
And the Muslim terrorists will use this as an excuse to commit more murders in the UK.

No, they won't. Let's give the UN and the Lebanese Army a chance. No one wants to go into Lebanon. Not even the Israelis.

possibly. we are an eternal member of the risk-free practices Council and in many situations finally end up deploying to the international's worry spots. the real question is can we handle it? uk forces are deployed international for the time of a era of hysteria unseen in view that 1990. on the comparable time they have been ravaged by defence cuts, have not have been given the superb kit (and while they do, that's previous due, over-funds and in many situations indadequate) and be stricken by extensive morale problems with one regiment particularly having deployed to Iraq thrice in 3 years. no longer purely that the centers are mired in privatisation and incessant re-employer that leaves the in many situations occurring sailor, soldier or airmen no longer understanding whether he's coming or going. That pronounced, they someway seem to muddle by way of by utilising their resourcefulness and initiative. however the country won't have the capacity to place self assurance in this continually. i could elect to think of that the Labour government would be held to account for this sooner or later while the **** rather hits the fan. yet all of us understand they gained't. The cavalier hazard they take with peoples' lives won't in any respect have the end result on the politicians that it finally has on people who serve and their families.

No. I doubt very much Britain will be involved in Lebanon because our leading role in Iraq and Afghanistan would antagonise Hizbollah too much.

Great, the British are going to have to go in and fight what America doesn't want to, how messed up is that, it's a very bad thing nothing good can come out of invading someone Else's war, wasn't the bombing plots enough for these people to learn not to interfere with other people's country's? I'm just curious as to why America's troops aren't going to war?

Well... if they bring peace for the Lebanese, and everyone there, that would be great. Again the army can't make peace... can it?
