#1 Lets see ... the last time Israel went into Gaza, Hezbollah started firing rockets across the border. When that didn't ease the pressure on Gaza, the took two Israeli soldiers.

Seems like a pretty consistent strategy to me. Hamas heats things up in Gaza, Israel responds, Hezbollah acts to take the pressure off by firing into Israel from Lebanon.

#5 I sometimes think of myself as an intelligent man, perhaps because others say I am, but then I get over it.

I cannot, cannot understand these continued weak gestures to 'destroy Israel(Kuwait/Lebanon/Kurds)' by all of their surrounding neighbors.

"We have two rockets, let's send them over and be heros!", "This will show them, let's build a tunnel! We'll be heros!" "That woman looked at me, let's burn her face with acid! We'll be heros!" "We're in the hate girls club! Let's make them wear sacks!"

It's like they're reinacting the playground fantasies of 8 year olds. No wonder they don't do autopsies. The physical causes of brain death dimentia and stunted frontal lobe growth are self-evident.

sorry about the rant. Merry Christmas.
