The Arabs despise the Palestine people as much as the jews.

At the cost of maybe 20% of the German population - which clearly noone is willing to pay yet in the middle east; mainly because it would look really bad on TeeVee. If one is not going to fight for real and destroy the opponents there is really, really no point in sending soldiers. > > >Do you advocate armed conflict purely out of vengeful spite? > > No. "War is a continuation of policy by means of force". Policy is > aimed at shaping the future, not avenging the past. Therein lies the problem: "Policy" seems to mean more and more: "Keep that Saudi Oil flowing" for a few years more regardless of the costs in civilian lives and freedom of speach and expression. I.M.O: If WW2 was conducted the same way, we would be still be busy knocking over small groups of Waffen SS while talking about our "deep respect" for Neo-German culture and the historic achievements of Hitler (all the while buying German products to prop up the failing plundocracy)! |
