Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

Brilliant !
Says it all.

just as an aside and mildly off subject .... we all tend to think that iraq is a "natural" entity .... wrong! it was created in 1920/1930 with all its own subsequent problems - e.g. brutal suppression and repression of the kurds - which tend to be conveniently swept under the carpet

When was it swept under the carpet ? during the 1920 /1930 's when media coverage was primitive compared to now. I think most people know of the the gassing of the Kurds and their fight for Independence.

but for a variety of reasons, that jolly aspect now gets little press coverage; in some ways i guess you could add mugabe and his thugs in zimbabwe, but of course who wants worn out tobacco farms when there's juicy oil to pursue (iraq)

If you deduct the cost in $ and the human cost of dead and disabled troop's from the iraq war i think the American's would have waited for regime change from within iraq by arming the anti Saddam group's and SAS type raid's into Iraq

But they don't think like the british or the Chinese for that matter and play the long came

This is Zionism. It is up to the year 2000. It is much worse now.

LOL

lots of things aldo, but i was just making an aside rather than wanting to start a whole new thread ...... of course if blair hadn't forced a blatant lie down our throats, i am sure parliament would not have allowed him to drag us into this war ..... that being so, the world would now be a slightly different place, though not necessarily either better or safer

Yes, just check out the VAST amount of Israeli territory in the Middle East LOL

So what. Lebanon is smaller. How much land do the Palestinians have? Almost nothing. Their land has been stolen by Israel (at least temporarily). The resistance by the Palestinians is aimed at returning that land.

What's the relevance of your anti-semitic drawn caricature from Streicher's Der Sturmer ?
No, of course you're not anti-semitic.........

........you just derive your anti-semitic material from Nazi propaganda - one step removed to try to fool people.
Go get a life, hay parrot, or better still go out to Gaza and join the peace loving Hamas who launch rockets into Israel then complain when retaliation comes.
Yes, put your body on the line instead of your mouth all the time LOL

The relevance was the Zionist double talk.

Go for it , Greg - Hamas calls you !
Words are cheap - especially when you've nothing better to do with your time LOL

The Zionists are just colonialists and want more and more land. 2011 is going to be a bad year for them.

Go on, Greg, raise yourself above being a keyboard hero of the "resistance" :)
Go and "fight" by bombing civilians - you know it makes sense........Hamas would love an English shahid to bolster their propaganda.
Give your life for what you believe in LOL
