Al-Qaeda asks for WWIII to start. (rant)

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/...ape/index.html

The usual blowhards out of Al-Qaeda called for a World War. World war with what? People strapping explosives to themselves, how exactly does that defeat another nations.....ARMY? As you can see by Lebanon right now, when a country really wants to do some damage and has real firepower, things change in days. Blowing yourself up in a train station just doesn't have the same effect as say a Howitzer barage on your capital. Just take a look at how Israel has effected the middle east. Lebanon is basically crying and saying why us yet I watched an Arab Embassador yesterday say that Hezbollah wasn't a terrorist organization (Lou Dobbs almost fell out of his chair on that one). I'm also trying to figure out the whole "Israel is bombing civilians" complaint. Well, if you didn't allow (yes allow) terrorists to build up weapons in your garage, maybe you wouldn't get shelled.

Some middle eastern countries are going on about the civilian casualties not realizing that Israel has been dealing with the occasional rocket barage for decades. Rockets hitting civilians. Remember that when a nation feels like it 'has' to win, civilians may pay the price. For instance Hiroshima in 1945, out of 255,000 people in the town an estimated 66,000 were killed (nearly 25% of the population).....by one weapon (est 3000 were killed out of 8 million in New York on 9/11 .0003% of the population). Now if terrorists organization really want to step up to that kind of warfare, feel free but they should know they'll lose.

IMO I consider blowing up a subway an act of violence against civilians, not blowing up a persons house containing rockets.

Lets not forget the beginning of the Gulf War. The first thing Saddam Hussein did was launch scud missles at Israel. For what reason?
Because he knew that if Israel fired back, it would entice the other "Israel Hating" nations to join his fight against the U.S.

I say, Go Israel.. Protect yourself at ALL costs. They killed enough Jews during the Hollocaust. Fight and fight back. Bring a gun to a knife fight, it's the Chicgao way.
