Well, i'd say that if Hezbollah were to attack that particular artillery emplacement while those civilians were there and some or all of them were killed or injured in the cross fire it'd be their own fault.

Of course i'd expect you, Scandium, the self proclaimed forum icon of impartiality, to immediately make several dozen posts containing dozens of links to Israeli biased sources and using several nazi execution pictures to compare Hezbollah to hitler and his henchmen. Right?

It even becomes more than my inherent pessimism can endure. Weh! Weh!

No, I'll let his remark go since I am in agreement with the opinions expressed by the community that this is a topic that is played out and I am as happy as anyone else to now abstain from beating this same tired, dead horse over and over.

Though that abstention is conditional upon the community that expresses its disapproval of the posting of these same tired topics here being consistent in it, because if I again observe the rampant applauding and cheering on of the killing of civilians in Lebanon (or anywhere else in the ME), the calls to nuke the Middle East, and the deriding of ordinary Arabs as "sand ******s", "camel jockeys", "ragheads" and other such epithets, then I will not be able to remain silent - not if its left unchecked like it was in the past.

And for those who wonder why I single out the ME and Arabs or Muslims, and who would accuse me of bias, then I will reply beforehand that the bias was already here and that if it were any other ethnic or religious group then the bandwagon would not be here with so many aboard it. But if things have really changed here then I'm quite happy to refrain from any such further (endlessly circular and tiresome) discussions.

I agree, but I kid not. Scandium, you are far too sincere and honest to be a successful politician, and would not adapt well to taking the party platform.

Yes. Better skip the party stuff and head for the UN directly.
