Is the Israeli military illogical when it kills and captures Hezbollah soldiers, or are your standards different for the two sides of the conflict?

Is Israel logical when it lays waste to an entire country, killing hundreds of innocents? Is this more or less logical than killing and capturing enemy soldiers that you are in an ongoing conflict with?

What I'd really like to know is, is there anything Israel could do that you would consider illogical? Is there any action they could take that you would consider excessive or disproportionate? If so, what is it?

Enough small talk. What I want to know is this: When the hell is Israel going to use its nuclear arsenal?

As a deterrent, it's a total flop. The fanatical fundamentalist terrorist brown-skinned types keep sending rockets and now they've started a cultural exchange program with the IDF. How do you fight nutbars that seek martyrdom above all else? Fear and deterrent (which worked well in our whiter more northern countries) are obviously doomed to failure.

So, why not a very small, contained, surgically precise wholesale nuclear attack? Ok, if that doesn't work, we can go back to the drawing board. But haven't we tried everything else already?

Has anybody got Condi Rice's email address? I feel confident that she will understand what I'm talking about.

Well, much as I despise Condi "Supertanker" Rice, that picture was photoshopped by USAToday to make her look (more) scary.

In every conflict throughout history, when all sides involved in a war firmly believe that they are 'doing God's will' the real losers will always be the innocent civilians caught in the middle.

Is there really an difference between the genocide behind attempting to exterminate one group based on its ethnicity or colour and another group based on its ideology or beliefs?

Somehow I don't think logic is in great supply anywhere in the Middle East.

does anyone remember when someone, using actual news headlines as a guide, portrayed the contenders in the ME conflict as toddlers in a sandbox? it worked perfectly (only they weren't toddlers, it wasn't a sandbox, and the people being killed were very real; outside of those details the action/reaction, threats/ counterthreats of the actors in the conflict worked perfectly in a sandbox setting)
