Occhi
As I said before about the 'war on terror' I think these political leaders have no interest in ending this conflict.
I don't think Ohlmert is stupid, I also don't think Bush (well at least the people that tell him what to do) is (are) stupid. I think they very well know the risks....I think therefor that they have meant it like this.
In the US/Iraq thing. You cannot tell me that the neocons are actualy interested in bringing democracy to the world. As long as they can use taxpayers money to keep their own businesses running it is fine with them.
@kandrathe. Those rockets that hezbollah apparantly are firing for a long time everyday on Israel. Are not Israels biggest problems. I also don't see how the actions Israel is unertaking now will help in any way to stop these attacks. I mean you don't make friends when you bomb peoples houses.
Same goes for Hezbollah...I mean they cannot seriously think that shooting rockets at Israel will make them leave the country, or will make Israel change their minds.
In my opinion teh mistake people always make in discussions about this subject is that the wrongly think that those governments actually care about their people.
