Poland wasn't firing rockets into Germany........


Just to be clear, are you saying that the current Israeli actions are
justified?

I think what he's saying is that Poland didn't support or give haven to
anyone lobbing rockets into Germany. In the case of Lebanon, it's not quite
so clear-cut.

Whether Israel's response is proportionate is another question altogether
which by it's very nature won't get a consensus opinion.


WTF??

Why is everyone talking about a "Proportionate response?" So if someone
lobs a dozen missiles into your cities you can only lob a dozen back?

BS!!

Remember when The Soviets were just across the border? we had MAD
(Mutually assured destruction) The West convinced The Soviets that if
they came across the border that we would use Nukes due to their
conventional superiority.

Proportionate response!!! Media-invented Crap!
