The nature of this war

The nature of this war: I found two interesting posts regarding the nature of this war. The first discusses how Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties and Hizbullah (or however they spell it this week!) tries to kill as many civilians as possible. It also has an interesting quote on the US response after Pearl Harbor:
In 1938, a Gallup Poll had found 91% of Americans agreeing with the statement "all nations should agree not to bomb civilian cities in wartime." Three days after Pearl Harbor, 67% said they favored unqualified and indiscriminate bombing of enemy cities, with only 10% expressing unqualified opposition
It is a very interesting read on the nature of war and its effects.

The second talks about the logistical hurdles of attacking Iran. It was very interesting to see that Iran imports so much gasoline. I like what that type of attack would do to Iran but I don't like what it would do to gas prices here in the US.

My prediction is a full-scale invasion of Lebanon with some type of attack on Syria. Israel needs to recreate their buffer zones and regain control of Gaza. Vast areas of land can't be left under the control of non-state actors such as Hizbullah and Hamas.; posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 9:34 PM Print
