Israel accepts cease-fire deal

Now if that happens we will be fighting WWIII.

 

Does anyone else find it odd that the majority of people on this board are willing to defend Israel in its conflicts with terrorism, but the same support is not afforded the United States? Just asking.

 

Did Iraq outright attack the US like Hamas and Hezbollah have against Israel? There are different circumstances.

 

While Hezbollah members hold positions in the Lebanese cabinet and while they do have a humanitarian arm, I wonder how its military arm, implicitly an NGO, can amass 10,000 or more rockets, RPGs, anti-tank missiles and other weaponry and still not be considered the defacto Lebanese military. The government in Beirut says that the hostilities are out of their control, but yet, they allowed Hezbollah to flourish and grow. While Hezbollah did this when there was governmental instability in the country, it did so with the support, presumably, of the population.

The situation is difficult to understand and I can't think of an appropriate analogy in the western world...David Duke and the KKK arming itself to defend the border?

Regardless, how can one broker a cease fire with a terrorist organization that is accepted as viable part of local government?

 

That is kind of strange come to think about it.

 

But still.

 

Just in the context of fighting terrorism. The terrorists tend to get all the blame in one instance, but not so much the other. Sure, the situations are different, but the overall conflicts aren't.

And the terrorists the U.S. are fighting in Iraq did, indeed, attack first and continue to attack daily. They came to the conflict after our battle with Iraq's military.

 

This is not good news...it's bullshit news. Do you really think this will stop...sure, say Hezbollah accepts the cease fire...it will flare up again. Maybe next week, a month from now, a year from now. Wars are over when political objectives are met.

 

And this war will not be over for a long time.

 

Ok question for you give you estmated guss on when this war will end.

 

The war on terror will never end. The mature, responsible, solvereign nations will have to do everything they can (miltarily, financially, intelligence-wise) for as long as they've got the will to in order to cripple and disable terrorist groups. That's the bottom line. There will be no complete cease-fire, no surrender, no peace treaty. Ever.

 

He asked for an estmated guss, pallister, not an estimated guess.

Pshaw. :
