It ...I more meant 'do nothing' from my perspective. It is easy to get oneself emotionally entangled in these things. But they are both willingly doing it to themselves - it is there fate to bear. 'Innocent' people wil die but that is life. <BR/><BR/>Hizbollah will never 'do nothing' because they have a purpose. HAMAS will never 'do nothing' because they have a purpose. Israel will always do something because it fears inaction most of all.<BR/><BR/>When you select a 'do nothing' attitude, you become a bit more subjective. I had thought the whole discussion about whether Israel was being a tad excessive in its hit back on Lebanon. I mean blowing up the International Airport to attack a fringe group?? But then, nyeh, there are no rules to these things and they will pay for what they buy in the end. You can't always lead a horse to water, when the horse is really a dumb-ass. So why tell either group what is appropriate. Go for gold, guys.<BR/><BR/>It is a case study in stupidity and it's only a lesson in what not to do.Crypticityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224633655908680371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842779.post-1154517165777982032006-08-02T23:12:00.000+12:002006-08-02T23:12:00.000+12:00Your blog posting is so timely for me.

I just saw a series of documentaries at the Academy, about that exact topic, tonight.<BR/><BR/>From an independent viewpoint, what both "sides" are doing seems irrational. They are just building up resentment and any revenge which results is explainable in that sense.<BR/><BR/>So, the way to resolve it is, as you suggest, do nothing - let the situation play itself out, then the other side doesn't feel like it needs to retaliate and continue the cycle.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333626255181864272noreply@blogger.com
