#3 Lebanon's not a tragedy. My hung nail is a tragedy.

#4 I ran into a Lebanese friend the other day, and she stated baldly that Israel should have destroyed Lebanon completely this summer, and that she hopes they will go back soon to finish the job. She said it's Lebanon's only hope, because the Hizb'allah occupation is worse than the PLO one. Granted, she is Eastern Orthodox Christian and her husband is Catholic, but I was surprised even so. It sounds like the non-Shiite Lebanese have the same understanding of war dynamics as the Jewish Concentration Camp prisoners, who prayed daily that the Allies would bomb the camps to shut down the factories.

#6 Bullshit, piled high and deep.

The Krauts are not going to shoot at anything unless it's actively poking holes in their shiny cruiser, which the Israelis are to smart to do. The Frogs are not going to do ANYTHING, ever - that's their answer to islamic militancy. Supine and stupid. Terminal.

There's also the risk that the Israeli planes will then exercise their legitimate right to defense and sink the ship.

That isn't possible, don't you know? The Germans have the much vaunted "RAM" anti-missle perimeter defense system co-developed with the US.

At least that is what Mr. Constant Bearing Decreasing Range (Pappy) says! And he's the expert! Just ask him.

#8 Actually, Pappy is combat-experienced in the Navy.

Just thought you'd like to know before you get snarky.

You aree wrong. Chirac is going fpr third term and his ONLY chance of being reelected is having a hot war with Israel.

#11 Good. Then soon enough the two of you will stop sniffing at each other with raised hackles, and discover intersecting sets of knowledge, Mick Dundee. "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children" are Marines, right? (I, as you no doubt figured out, am about as purely civian as a person can get these days.)

#12 Shitrack doesn't have a chance at a third term if the muzzies keep burning cars. This has gone on for what, six-seven years now, and he's done nothing to stop it? The French may be slow, but NOBODY'S that stupid - I hope!

France has done nothing to implement UNR 1701, so the "fragile" situation is partly their fault. The rest of the UNIFIL is equally to blame for the situation going from bad to worse, and they will pay for it. In the next war, I don't think Israel will give a da$$ if UNIFIL troops are in the way.

#13 I'm sorry, on rereading that last I see it's a bit incoherent. It's just that Pappy was doing something with some, and the description is quite striking to me.

#14 So am I.

Then pull your head out of your dogma and think like a damn warrior. Your attitude is that it's gonna be another Bubiyan turkey-shoot. I say it will not be that easy.

#16 Michele Allio-Marie said that "Lebanon is a formidable example... of the capacity of men and women of different origins, religions and cultures to live together"...

What a lie! There is not a single Jew in Lebanon, and if an Israeli Jew was to enter Lebanon, he would be killed very fast. How can a racist country, like Lebanon is nowadays, be an example ?
