If that guy in Britain rates his private moral as higher than the laws of his nation and the obligational duties of his job as a police officer - it might be a good idea if he doesn't serve in that job. That simple.
But I give it to Scandium that the Lebanon war was a waste. As much as I defended - and still defend - the
initial goal of it (reducing or neutralizing completely Hezbollah's power structures and presence and influence, as well destroying it's logistical and intel networks and military capacities in general), as much I attack and criticise the incompetent pre-planning and extremely bad preparation that led to the IDF effort turning into a desaster that in fact meant a major strategical defeat for Israel and prooves all the damage and destruction being done as simply this: a waste and thus: needless. If one votes for war, one must go all the way and prepare better and fight with all ruthlessness possible, that'S why I demanded and waited for more adequate Israeli intervention. When it became evident that they would not do it and fought this war uncorrected and with half a heart only, they lost me, for the destruction and killing they did was commited all for nothing. Result of that war fought by dilletants: Israel'S situation is more probolemtic than before. Idiots. That's what happens if one draws a sword only half way out of it's sheathe, and having extremely bad intel about one's enemy. The only thing that was gained is evidence how dangerous Hezbollah actually really is, and what potent a military force.
BTW, what Scandium - as so very often before - is doing AGAIN is to ignore some important details about "certain poster's" (I feel directly adressed
) biographies. In my case: that I have foreign friends, or had them, and have dealt with Muslims inside and outside of Germany, and that I still do know such people who actually agree with me while still being Muslims, but they have realized that they already have somewhat turned their backs on certain key elements and basic principles of Islamic ideology, which qualifies them to be described as no true Muslims anymore.
And no, Scandium, in opposition to your suggestive language I would not accept a Jewish policeman rejecting duty at the Iranian embassy in Germany. In fact, if I would have a say in it, there would not be an Iranian embassy at all as long as the policy of Iran towards the West is so extremely hostile. There is nothing to talk with them as long as they are like they are. Instead of iranian embassies, we would have reserach centres focussing on how we could push and enforce technologies and energy-productions on industrial level that do not depend on oil imports from Iran anymore. That'S a better way to spend taxes than wasting them in guarding buildings of hostile nations. If they want to talk to us, they can use the telephone, or CNN.
