No hope
I haven't said much about what is going on in the Middle East right now. There is a reason for that. Basically, I feel there is no hope. There will never be peace in the Middle East. These people are intent upon killing, seemingly for killing's sake.
Why else would some ragtag bunch of out-gunned yahoos invade Israel and abduct her soldiers? They know that Israel will retaliate. They also know that they can't possibly win against her, no matter what weight Hezbollah's Arab fans bring to bear at the UN. The fact of the matter is this was simply a grander-scaled suicide mission. Dumbasses. Don't they know that this does nothing but piss people off? Ask the Jordanians how they feel about terrorism brought to their own hometowns. They didn't like it so much.
All sensible people can understand a nation's right to defend itself, even anti-Semites who despise Israel's existence. So, in my opinion, Hezbollah was asking - nay begging - for it. And, you reap what you sow.
Of course, it is the Lebanese who have been hijacked here. Their government has failed to rein in Hezbollah, and now her people are being punished.
As a sidepoint, who the hell goes to Lebanon on vacation? Disney World not exciting enough for you, or what?
So, there will never be peace in the Middle East. So, I'm not going to bother posting long essays on the matter. There is no hope.
