Where are the Christians?
 

I couldn't resist posting this article, because the title alone brought instantly to mind all of the numerous threads here on the wrongs done to us by Islamic Jihadists, and always with at least one post lamenting the fact that the Muslims can't seem to control their own extremists. Fair enough. Now I ask you, as does The Conservative Voice, where are the Christians?

The rest of the article you can read here:

Maybe the Christians are simply sick and tired of the ME, who knows...

Since you are so very sure of that Hizbollah and Hamas shall not be fought against, could you tell us what to do, then? But spare your time if your suggestions are just what the UN is writing in it's papers, or that there shall be negotiations with terror organizations. But any better battle plan is welcomed.

Could you also elaborate what use it could be for Israel to intentionally target Lebanese civilians, and to intentionally destroy harmless private homes, and why it is so sure that these are intentional attacks, not siudeeffects that cannot be avopided when waging war in a heavily urbanized areas? Do you have a better idea of how to reduce Hizbollah's weapon stockpiles, to reduce their freedom of movement, and drive them away from the Israeli border? How to destroy a camp inside an appartmenet house, an ammo stockpile in the backroom of a shop? War is not nice, I agree with Mrs. Reagan. but so far no one has shown up with a better REALISTIC idea of how we could limit the threat that is projected by Hizbollah and Hamas to Israel. The border violations of the past years have been into Israel, not from Israel.

A brief reply please - not one of these twisted long debates about political semantics and thematic sidelines, global warming, the consequences of smoking and epidemic deseases, and hairsplitting definition of terms. The simple question is how to prevent two terror organizations from sending mroe suicide bombers to Israel and firing more missiles into Israeli cities? Your answer?

and keep in mind that since day one on I am opposing the Iraq war as determined as I defend Isreals's action now. No lecturing on how much warmongering and Mohammedan-killing I am.

Chock up another dumb thread!

They can all be found at the local church once a week comparing clothing.

The christians (like me) were busy with the world cup, female arse, and drinking beer...you know, the important things in life? We've blimming had enough of war...it gets boring after a while. That's why if it was me, and I'm speaking honestly, I'd nuke every fuker within a thousand mile radius. When you want to get rid of ants, what do you do...? Stamp one at a time?....or find their nest, rip the top apart with a bunker busting shoe, then rape the female ants with toothpicks, pillage their food storage and burn their homes with matchsticks?...then get the queen ant and chop her head off with a razor blade...in front of all the other ants! Then the great dam-busting finale...pour boiling water on the rest of the colony. THAT is how you solve a problem. That'll teach 'em to eat my effing honey!! :stare:

Not a Pat Buchanan fan huh? :D I admit he's a little fringe, but I respect the guy all the same (if for no other reason than for his literary skills and ability to dish out what he thinks because he thinks it, and not because its the PC thing or the popular thing or the book peddling thing). Plus his view on current events in the ME is a little novel and not the same AP sanitized and recycled summary you'd turn up otherwise.

The only problem with this approach is twofold:

1. People are not ants.

2. Your approach would also involve your own self-immolation. Are you simply suicidal then?

I don't care for the guy. I mean, one day he shows up and wants to take a tour of my fathers boat. He really isn't interested in my fathers boat, he just wants a handout for his campaign in my book! I mean, he is alright and everything, but still not my cup of tea. He only wrote this article for the simple reason as to turn heads and get attention, just like everything else he does. Just my 2 cents.

-S

Why can't he just ******* and run down the road singing tra-la-la...if he wants attention....like everyone else does.

In the interests of brevity then I will quote that part of the article I posted, two short paragraphs, which nails precisely my own view. As to the solution, that is for those with more power and resources than I have to come up with; I, for my part, only have that which too many others in power seem to be lacking: an interest in events taking place there and a conviction that this has to stop.

For my part I am neither American nor particularly Christian, but collectively punishing innocent people sure as hell isn't any value that I subscribe to.

You were given several friendly requests and a warning to avoid vulgar language, provoking members, and sending obscene private messages. When I got in tonight, there were 3 PMs from different people, all with complaints about your obscene language to them. Find another sandbox to play in.

Scandium,

Thatn is no answer. You should tell us how to acchieve the objecives in the first paragraph of your quote, instead you tell us that becasue of the second paragraph (with some questionable content) we are not allowed to acchieve the objectives of the first paragraph.

So I repeat the question: how to reduce the armed capacity of two terror organizations, how to hinder them to strike at Israel and sending suicide bombers and missiles into Israeli cities, and preferrably keep them away from Israeli borders and reduce their striking potential to meaningless terms? You only tell us what we should not do, so what should we do?

Does this mean I may safely take him off the ignore list, then? :lol:

Ehhh... no real loss. :rotfl:

Simply stated, the political force of the United States is run by special interest. There are three very powerful lobbies in the US: The evangelical Christian lobby, the pro-Israeli lobby, and the oil lobby. The evangelicals have alligned themselves with the Israeli lobby on social issues, and are not likely to speak out against the actions of the IDF. So, criticism of Israel is very much in the same state as the chance of any meaningful alternative energy research: Not likely until special interest can be curbed, and the people can once again regain their voices.
