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?

Cynic,
I don't know why you say, "suspect", as nothing I've said is in disagreement with your post 4441; in fact I agree with you.

Typical Britain : 2 planes sent to rescue britons in distress.....one broke down and the other had an insurance problem....just like this country.....full of --------.

and then the elves said there weren't sufficient life jackets and parachutes nor baby-changing facilities - planes therefore grounded while a full investigation is conducted

What do you expect for a government of PR men who are trying to flog more weapons in the ME.

Mind Cameron should have a good tan.

"..most commentators followed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's lead and criticised President Barack Obama's Administration for not supporting Mubarak. The Foreign News editor of one channel noted that: "The fact that the White House is permitting the protests is reason for worry;" while the prominent political analyst Ben Kaspit expressed his longing for President George W. Bush."

lest anyone should think otherwise, while aljazeera is indeed a very good news service, its bias is certainly and arguably heavily arab/palestinian ...... the thinking person will therefore temper his view having checked out BBC reporting

And the news media in Israel that are being reported on above are heavily pro Israeli.

Nobody would have guessed the last two opinions!

fred - don't show yourself up as being more of a moron than usual ..... haystack's comment was totally precictable ... mine was really just the statement of something fairly obvious to anyone who knows much or even anything of m/e .... i could have been much (stupidly) provocative by commenting that al jazeerah is run out of jordan (i think) whence most palestinians in managerial jobs claim they originate - this should provoke a certain poster to draw a parallel with austria and germans of a certain political persuasion!

Aljazeera is in Doha, Qatar. It is owned by Qatar Media Corporation which owns most of the media in Qatar.

Cynic.

As usual, you are your usual stupid provocative self.

The contents of your contributions rarely, if ever, add any value to the the thread.

Generally, you just expose your naivety, narrow mindedness and obvious unpleasantness.
=============

Interesting to see Arthur Daley and the new Dell boy trying to flog arms to the Egyptian military.

you will note that my initial post, which you predictably choose/chose to deride, was both balanced and UNprovocative ..... the second was intentional and patently effective in its effect

as usual, anyone who doesn't agree with you or haystack (i often disagree strongly with views expressed by others too) is, in your eyes, automatically "naive, narrow minded and unpleasant"

No.

But, but you are a special case.

certainly i am happier to march to my own tune rather than just follow the herd

Haven't you noticed that the BBC is frequently pro Palestinian and often more so than Al Jazeera.

i merely observed, primarily to enable people to try to get a balanced view as what might truly be happening.

as for BBC, you may well be right for i only see AJ when i am in m/e ...... far be it from me to say BBC is other than strictly impartial, but certainly the tories have often complained that BBC is left-wing biased, and assuredly many UK gov'ts have been distinctly pro-arab or even anti-israel/jews

fahel - I like the first video - where liebman from movements.org is interviewed. I approve of the article on the front page of his website (www.movements.org)

Cynic, I hope they are not just following money.

The best option for the West is to watch the Arab countries to change! (fight internally and destroy their resources). They have to sell oil to pay for the damage after all!

Supporting anyone in the conflict can be counter productive, so keeping quiet is the best option.
