The pictures on TV of the bombed people, cities and towns of Lebanon are almost beyong belief and too terrible to behold. And all without an ultimatum and for the kidnapping of two soldiers who are still alive and well.
Is that not a lesson to Iran on what terrible things can happen to countries which do not have atomic weapons? How can we be so selfish and naive as to expect other countries to accept double standards? What kind of justice do we believe in? If atom bombs are bad for some, they are bad for all.
I would be grateful for the religious views on this .

I totally agree with you Franco. I can understand the reasons behind governments double standards (USA for examples), but cannot really understand the public acceptance of this double standards! People here and in some other forums are talking as if America and its beloved Israel are the centre of this world, and things should go only to their favor, and let other nations go to hell! This is how I personally perceive americans.
Oh yeah, and nobody should be capable of defending oneself. Being capable of defending oneself is a threat byitself not to people of Israel or USA but to their benefits in the region.

Are you forgetting that Hezbollah was conceived of by Iran, trained, funded, supplied by Iran and directed by Iran? So, I suppose that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei is very pleased with the outcome. All the Muslims who died would have become shahid (martyrs). For Muslims this is a great honor. It is not terrible.
Muslims seem drawn to hasten Qiyahmah (Judgment Day). Khamenei wants to establish a borderless Shiite caliphate initially from Iran to Lebanon, a theocracy, like the Republic of Iran. A theocracy based upon the Qur'an. One that will rid the world of fitnah (unbelief in Allah, Muhammad and Qiyahmah).
What kind of justice do we believe in? Freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
For Eddie - the Medes are the Kurds.

In case you didn't know Iran was behind the kidnapping and supplied the rockets and all the other weapons Hezbollah uses.
It wasn't "just" the two soldiers who we don't know are alive much less well, it was also the freaking rockets the Hez kept shooting at Israel.
Iran wants nukes so it can be the "big" dog in the middle east and it will use them. That is why Iran shouldn't have them.

It was a muslim man that pointed out to me the verses in the
book of Habbakuk, that is supposed to be prophesy of the End
Times, that speaks of the violence in Lebanon.
I don't understand all the hell-raising by Christians who claim to
accept the Bible. Unless, they aren't reading it of course.
It says that the Medes and Persians, (Iran was Persia, Iraq the
Medes?), will get stirred up by GOD! (The U.S. getting tired of the bull and attacking Iraq?). And form an alliance with Libya
and Ethiopia.
I used to think prophesy was so me might avoid these things. I see now that we are truly evil, with our self-righteous hell-raising, and hating on others, who are supposed to be our brothers and sisiters in spirit. Nothing is going to stop it! SO DEALWITH IT!

As far as Israel they don't play around and you don't kidnap people and not expect them not to do anything about it. (You can't blame them there) Other countries have had no problem blowing up things in Israel with women and children in them. Now for Iran, somebody is going to have to do something with them before to much longer and the UN wagging a finger at them ain't going to do it. I know let France deal with them.

whose religious views? the clerics in iran see this as a way to consolidate even more power by keeping the hatred and fear against isreal alive, in a religious way of course. I dont think that iran, or lebanon not having nukes has anything to do with religion, or the fact that if they support terrorist groups they should expect retaliation, if they have nukes then the chance for escalation is truly frightning, its probably best for them not to have them.

The lesson to Iran is that the arms they supply to Lebanon aren't effective enough to contemplate or warrant an invasion of Isreal.
The Arabs will need better weaponry to defeat the Jews.

Israel's capability so Iran can prepare more to beat Israel. I think Iran is about 5 years away from being more powerful and able to beat Israel.
Iran is making weapons deals with Russia and they need to figure out what weapons would work better against Israel.
