I compare it to the stress put on the San Andres fault...pressure keeps growing until something has to give and you then have a major event. That point was reached. Israel has to live in the middle of a literal pressure cooker as far as politics go. They are not only hated by their neighbors, but literally despised...not for things that matter, but for merely being born and breathing in many cases. They also know they cannot count on an useless body like the U.N., who does nothing but issue impotent "warnings" to countries that patentedly ignore each and every edict.<BR/><BR/>Granted Israel also gets in their own stubborn or political bias on a regular basis as well...BUT they are a tiny country that learned long ago they had to take care of their own...and so they are. The situation in that area of the world, given the advancement of weapons and technology is to a point where they simply cannot stand idly by in the line of fire anymore. The taking of their soldiers was purely provocative move meant to strike at Israel's heart...what was NOT anticipated by Hezbollah was the strength of what the reaction would be.<BR/><BR/>While I don't like the situation developing over there and believe it's going to have worldwide implications more than any of us can imagine right now...I do understand the response and Israel's need to show that they are not helpless, nor going to lay down and roll over. They can't. We also have to stand by them, and will.<BR/><BR/>Do not even get me started on the politicians in this country that instead of working together to progress OUR strengths, merely contribute to try and pull us apart and erode our country's resolve purely for their own gain. The flip-flopping and ridiculously treasonous statements made by many in Washington or by leaders in a political party are only serving to keep us mired down in debate and not solve a single problem.<BR/><BR/>Monday July 17, 2006 - 05:12pm (EDT)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508498635303938013.post-22656619650665846732008-06-16T23:55:00.001-07:002008-06-16T23:55:00.001-07:00I don't understand what liberals and most of the w...I don't understand what liberals and most of the world's leaders in saying that Israel shouldn't do what it is doing now. Israel was making peace with the "palestinians" when they pulled out of Gaza. This pullout gave the "palestinians" an opening to attack along with their friends, Hezbollah. Israel is being attacked in the north and in the south by people who want to eradicate them. I say GO ISRAEL, get rid of those muslim terrorists!<BR/><BR/>Monday July 17, 2006 - 05:09pm (EDT)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508498635303938013.post-92130907730631113992008-06-16T23:55:00.000-07:002008-06-16T23:55:00.000-07:00Israel stood by us during every situation.
