I was responding to your initial rant. I do not have my ear to the ground where Israel is concerned, so I did not search to see how incorrect your initial post was. As you can see from my contributions of late, I’ve been pretty busy -- elsewhere.

Now, is Sharon continuing to go on about "no military presence," or is there a new dodge in the works. I still find it amazing that the initial proposal for an investigation team lacked a military representative. The UN, of late, has simply become a bloated political sparring ground, with little to no real presence.

Thanks for the additional info, but it remains incomplete (i.e., anti-Israel biased). In an argument, this is not an overly bad thing, and one might expect a biased approach, but to truly win the argument you should post all you can from both sides, even if you don’t like the idea that the side you’re against just might be right.

No, I don’t stand behind Sharon in his tactics, but, yes, I can explain and understand them. On the other hand, the Hamas is, as you stated, an undisciplined militia, and one to be eradicated. This requires a military action, and this military action will only come from Israel.

Cheers,
Dan
