"I will take a bomb and put it on me...and explode it if I could find any Israeli. I would explode it and kill myself and them."

He gestured as if stuffing a bomb inside his sweat-stained shirt.

"I am not a terrorist but today, if I could, I would blow myself up. It is enough."

"I want to be a bomb. Israel comes with airplanes and tonnes of explosives. I want to say to (UN Secretary General) Kofi Annan. Enough!"

1. Babylon 5 quote: "Tell me, how will this end?"... "In fire." ...nt

6. The Babylon series -- now THAT'S why this war seems so familiar

There is a theory that every plot twist has been written -- there are only variations on themes.

Babylon 5 is so good -- so timely and so wise.

10. Yep, I agree with the plot theory. The old and new testaments, Shakespeare

the Twilight Zone and the Simpsons have done all possible permutations of drama and plot.

2. Any thinking person can see this would happen

yet the many warmongers continue to push for bombing the hell out of Lebanon, and destroying its people (to say nothing of the Palestinians who have been pushed out of the spotlight and even more crushed).

3. Gee, who could have predicted this?

:thumbsup:

4. Welcome DYouth, and I would think that people would've listened to the

thinking persons who said that this would be the outcome in Iraq instead of calling us all sorts of names.

5. this bombing of Lebanon's civilians is a great recruiting device

for Hizbolla.

Oops -- that's not why Lebanon's civilian targets are being. Whatever the reason -- Hizbolla will benefit -- and then perhaps Israel can claim that they were in fact bombing Hizbolla because now people ARE supporters of Hizbolla??????

Which comes first the chicken or the egg?

The US should stay the F*** out of family fights.

8. the silence of the........

egypt, jordan, et al.
is it possible they want hezbollah permanently eliminated from the neighborhood? shias in a sunni land.....the plot thickens.

9. Pro-Western Arab governments are not loved by their people

Pro-Western Arab governments are not loved by their people!

People like Egypt's Mubarak, who oppresses and tortures his people, will likely be toppled for his collaboration with the US in the torture of CIA captives and his cozy relationship with Washington.

11. a thousand little Hezbollahs.

12. If he was already a Hezbollah supporter, his

radicalization wasn't a difficult task.

If he was Druze or Christian, it was.

It's rather like the reporting out of Iraq and Afghanistan: because the reporter either doesn't understand what information is relevant, or believes that the information would hurt how the story would be interpreted, relevant information is left out.

Lots of that in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, elsewhere. Quite a pernicious practice.

13. radicalization wasn't a difficult task.

Nah, it just took a few thousand tonnes of explosives.
