Found a quote the other day that couldn't be more applicable to the current situation... pretty much everywhere:
"We will not acheive world peace by bombing each other's children" - President Jimmy Carter
"We can forgive them for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing our children to kill their children." (or something like that) - Golda Meir.
Anyway, a friend of mine (married, 2 kids, 2 in the oven) was called up for reserve duty. He and his unit have been in Lebanon fighting Hezbollah in the streets. He was in an alley when a Hezbollah guy launched an RPG at his head. It exploded next to him, but he wasn't injured at all aside from a slight loss of hearing (which could be from the battles in general). He said that the hardest part of the fighting is that they're not allowed to open fire until they see that a potential enemy is actually armed; without seeing the weaponry, Hezbollah is indistinguishable from regular Lebanese civilians, since they wear no uniform.
Also, last saturday, my brother had a katyusha pass over him (the shadow went over him for a split second) and explode 40 meters beyond him in his base.
What are people's opinions on all the
false media stuff being exposed recently? I know what I think, and I know what some people here think, but what's the general consensus around where you are?
