Current situation in the Middle East: a strategic analysis

JulienP · Black Bloc

Raaaww. Someone's got their claws out! My final word on the subject is this; Both sides are blowing people up, both sides are killing civillians. Now the reason that I have a go at Israel more than I do at Hizbullah (or Palestinian terror groups), is because frankly they are a state and should know better. There's no point having a go at all these terror groups and corrupt states and saying that they're bad and kill civilians when Israel (and the rest of the west) do exactly the same. We're supposed to be better than that, but we're not, Israel is not. Which is why i don't give them the benefit of the doubt, just because an army belongs to a democratically structured country, does not give more of a right to bomb the hell out of another country without some sort of international sanction (ie the UN). In fact being a democratic country in some ways gives it less of a right, with democracy, nation status and international recognition come responsibilities.

Neither side are right, neither side is willing to do a whole lot about it. I think thats all that needs to be said on the matter.

I see that the Israeli Prime Minister has said that Hezbollah is now been entirely destroyed. So if this is the case why not stop, instead of carrying on like they are doing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5237620.stm
I mean if they really have been destroyed then surely tis mission accomplished. And if it hasn't (as the subsequent hezbollah rocket attacks would suggest) why say it in the first place? You'll never completely destroy something like hezbollah if I'm honest anyway, they'll just fade into the undergrowth, be even more agrresive and harder to deal with.

I also read the other day that Prime Minister Teflon Tony may be advocating the intergration of Hezbollah into the Lebanese Army, what the f**k??? Does he really think the Israelis will agree to that? Someone's living in cloud cuckoo land, and if they would, then that just makes them a massive load of hypocrites, did they not start this to destroy Hezbollah?

In Mr Blair´s so called climbdown speech yesterday (although if asked he would still not say that invading Iraq or Afghanistan was a mistake or that Israel should stop blowing up quite so many children) he said that:

Blair's speech was hardly a climbdown if we're honest. One thing did cheer me up though, that reports suggest that nearly the entire labour party is unhappy at his actions and the government's support for Israel Pity they wont do anything about it!
