fogman: I think we are misunderstanding each other.

I am quite sure you are right in this. Someone has to stop. And in the case of Israel I believe that they are strong enough to stop this war. The same counts for us. We have to be strong, to be able to defend us, but we dont need to bring war to other countries (Afghanistan, Israel, Vietnam). This is the wrong reaction. But the real reason behind these wars are economical ones.

But when we become absolute pacifistic people with no defense then someone will erase us from the map as the Chinese did with the Tibetians.
