Contrary to all the media reports, isreal is not loosing the war. They are actually being over cautious and hence the increase in casualties on their part. They have the capability of reaching beirut in a week but are stalling to give diplomacy a chance. Hezbollah who CNN show wearing uniform and forming activity are just breaking all the rules of engagement. Prosecuting the war from civillian areas and refusing to wear uniforms - because the lebanese will catch them and kill them theirselves.

There is no rule of engagement with terrorist !

otoks it seems your remote control doesnt work

Thats sad Shagari, France don't know about that,,

erm erm This is not the first time you are eating you words man , "come on san!"

it's interesting what a little googling can do

Prior to the discovery of oil, the region has been a hotbed for religious conflict, and wars over other rich resources and arable land. The interests that the West (primarily Britain and France during European colonial times and now the US) has had has been due to the energy and resource interests and to battle against the Ottoman Empire.

As a result, for centuries, the western population has been acclimatized to a type of propaganda and vilification of the Arab people of the Middle East, and of Islam in general. This was especially so during the European colonial times, as so vividly examined by Edward Said, in his well-respected book, Orientalism. Both before and after the Ottoman Empire, geopolitically speaking, this negative stereotyping has served to provide justifications for involvement and to ensure "stability" for the powers that wanted to be involved in the region.

To maintain superiority, control and influence over the region, the West has placed corrupt Arab leaders into positions of power and supported the overthrow of those that are not seen as favorable. This has also served to keep their populations at bay, in return for militarization, power and personal wealth of the elite. Sometimes this has been done in the name of fighting communism. The common theme underlying it though has been the struggle to control access to important resources such as oil.

The Middle East is the most militarized region in the world and most arms sales head there. A suppressed people that sees US influence as a major root cause of the current problems in the Middle East has led to a rise in Islamic militancy, acts of terrorism and anti-west sentiment. Anti-US in particular. When looking at some of the actions of the US, it can often be seen why this is unfortunately so.

U.S foreign policy

http://www.fpif.org/progresp/volume2/v2n38.html

There is nothing inherent in Islamic, Middle Eastern, Irish, Basque, or other traditions that spawns terrorism. Terrorism is primarily the weapon of the politically weak or frustrated-those who are or believe themselves to be unable to exert their grievances through conventional political or military means. However illegitimate terrorism itself is, the political concerns that spawn such violence often have a reasonable basis. Effective intelligence, interdiction, and certain conventional counterterrorism efforts do have their place. But terrorism's roots are political, so ending it is at least as much a political problem as a security problem.

U.S. foreign policy toward international terrorism is far too focused on military solutions, including bombing raids by cruise missiles and fighter aircraft against targets in foreign nations. Though such air strikes have played well with the American public because they give the impression that the U.S. is taking decisive action to strike back at terrorists, in reality the U.S. war against terrorism has often taken the form of foreign policy by catharsis.

Recent U.S. presidents have claimed that international terrorism is a major threat to this country's national security and that the war against terrorism should be a major focus of U.S. foreign policy. Indeed, President Clinton, in his September 1998 speech before the United Nations General Assembly, identified international terrorism as a worldwide priority.

Problems With Current Counterterrorism Policy
U.S. foreign policy toward international terrorism is far too focused on military solutions, including bombing raids by cruise missiles and fighter aircraft against targets in foreign nations. Though such air strikes have played well with the American public because they give the impression that the U.S. is taking decisive action to strike back at terrorists, in reality the U.S. war against terrorism has often taken the form of foreign policy by catharsis.

Surgical air strikes may make sense in wartime when the targets are heavy equipment, lethal weaponry, communications centers, and large concentrations of armed forces. Yet due to the nature of attacks organized by small groups using clandestine methods, "terrorist bases" generally contain none of these. As a result, such air raids make little sense strategically.

In addition, targeting terrorist bases, which are often in close proximity to populated areas, risks casualties among innocent civilians. In 1986, for instance, the U.S. bombed two Libyan cities in retaliation for suspected Libyan involvement in a terrorist attack against a Berlin discotheque that killed two American GIs. More than 60 civilians were killed in the bombing, including Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffi's baby daughter.

Often such air strikes are based on faulty intelligence, such as the April 1993 bombing of a Baghdad neighborhood in reaction to an unsubstantiated allegation of an Iraqi assassination attempt against former President Bush. Likewise, in August 1998 the U.S. bombed a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant, claiming it was a chemical weapons plant controlled by a foreign terrorist leader. The Clinton administration subsequently refused to release the supposed "evidence" prompting these strikes or to allow independent investigations by the United Nations.

More fundamentally, rather than curbing terrorism, such strikes often escalate the cycle of violence as terrorists seek further retaliation. In 1988, Libyan agents allegedly blew up Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in retaliation for the U.S. strikes against Libyan cities. Meanwhile Libyans, Iraqis, Palestinians, and other peoples victimized by U.S. bombing raids are likely to become more hostile toward the U.S. and more sympathetic to the terrorists.

There are serious legal questions as well. International law prohibits the use of armed force except when a nation is under direct attack. The U.S. claims that Article 51 of the UN Charter allows such military actions, but Article 51 deals only with self defense; neither retaliatory strikes nor preemptive strikes are included. The U.S. has so far refused to seek prior Security Council approval for preemptive military action.

Another problem with U.S. policy is that the United States has itself sponsored international terrorism. The most serious single bombing attack against a civilian target in the modern Middle East was the March 1985 blast in a suburban Beirut neighborhood that killed 80 people and wounded 200 others. The attack was ordered by CIA director William Casey and approved by President Reagan as part of an unsuccessful effort to assassinate an anti-American Lebanese cleric. Such actions have given the U.S. crusade against terrorism less credibility in much of the world.

When US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam were bombed, the US retaliated by bombing two sites suspected of being involved in the appalling bombing which cost the lives of many innocent people. Eight months after the bombing, the US quietly admitted it made a mistake.

"I don't have any doubt that after this round is over, there will be another round, because the war with Iran is not over. When you have the president of the world's fourth largest oil supplier preaching repeatedly that Israel should be wiped off the map, a collision is unavoidable."

hmm would needs the oil more?

A man naturally is attracted to a beautiful woman with big boobs and nice bum although we are not aware of it beauty in a woman denotes youth and fertility large breasts means she can feed my offsprings a nice bum means she will bear me offsprings.
The woman too is naturally attracted to a tall man with broad shoulders and strong arms and firm pecs, she's not aware of it but those things are telling her, he will protect me, and provide for me and my children.
In modern days things have changed a bit, the emphasis on strength to bring food home is replaced by money, the more money you have as a man the more I as a woman and my kids would be protected and provided for.

So at the end of the day guys, its all about the basic animal survival instincts within us, thats all folks! thats all.

funny how the basic "male" animal survival instincts havent changed all these cenutries

we are still attracted to the natural bits and not the material

its all about the cheese mate

wenger would put money on him if he knew he was going to stay in England (its a bit obvious English players dont play outside the land)

Sol wanted some big team outside the country but still wants his big pay check

Time was runing out so he did a U-turn atleast outside london is still abroad to some people ( another weather , another accent, and the yguy with portsmouth tattoo all over his body )

one team in north London is jealous of our new team , it's not our fault you eat the lasagna* u might just have made it to UEFA

next time take strongbow before the match to avoid food poisoning

he played okay a bit defensive like makele really hardly went past the middle line, picking the ball from defenders n passing it on to the wings or forward

sometimes he looked a bit lost

In the first place i wont tell d guy i'm pregnant
because i don't want anyone to talk mi into abortion
when i give birth and he denies it
to hell with him
i'll love my baby wit all my heart and i'll use love to take care of that baby with all i've got and all i'll get
