What makes a terrorist a terrorist?

I don't know about you, Faith, but I have sympathy for children. I have sympathy for ambulance drivers on a mission of humanitarian aid.As far as I'm concerned, both Israel and Hizballah are to blame, and it just shows how fundamentalist religion that can brook no compromise nor tolerate any deviation is a destructive force that deserves extinction.

You act like Israel isn't in control of their own actions. Sorry, but if Israel is all too willing to dance on Hizballah's strings, then they're to blame for the deaths, even if that was Hizballah's strategy all along.

Of course they do, Faith. Do you think the Israelis are idiots or something? Is it really beyond your conception that they might suspect that civilians live in cities?

Evacuate the cities. Infiltrate the groups.Get the US to loan over a few of those 747's with the chemical-argon antimissile laser in the nose. They've had laser-based antimissile systems that can fry an albatross 20 miles away, from a laser system you can cart around on the back of a truck. We can't be talking about over-the-horizon rockets, right?This is such a technical challenge that the only solution is to bomb children and ambulances? How about this: nothing.Why not? Have the actions of Israel ameliorated the rocket problem? I don't see that it has, to any degree. In the meantime hundreds of innocents are dead. Maybe the thing to do would have been to do something, anything except exactly what Hizballah counted on them doing - a traditional Israeli disproportionate response.I don't pretend to be a tactical genius. My name isn't Ender Wiggin. But I do know that the fundamental first rule of strategy is "don't do what your enemy is counting on you to do."

Too bad your attempts to prove that have been so inept.
