about americans not knowing war on their own soil.
true,but they sure know what`s war,and what it cost.
as for israel...if one country knows what`s war that`s israel. and if one country was 100% behind the US invading iraq, that`s also israel.
unfortunately lessons learned by israel weren`t implemented and the USA got bogged down.
I mean: while the war of last summer with hezbollah sure wasn`t a victorious war, total victory wasn`t even an option. who belives the IDF couldn`t have marched right into beirut? or occupy the whole of lebanon and search for weapons in every house,and kill everyone that were suspected hezbollah supporters. or even march right into damascus.
no way. it would have achieved nothing.
israel occupied lebanon for many long years,and getting out of there was the best thing to do.
it`s up to the local population to make changes for themselves. not even the USofA can force a nation to understand that democracy is the the best way to live in.
BUT the USofA can make a nation to understand that if they let a maniac rule over them,who will contribute the whole nations resources to sticking up to the west,they have a lot to lose.
it`s all about live and let live. that is what the arabs need to learn. period.
