Middle East here we go again

[JohnD]

It has to do with the actions most likely to reduce future violence, as opposed to actions most likely to increase it.

I once heard Bush II described as a man who, when stung by a wasp, though the best response was to follow the wasp back to its nest, and whack the nest with a stick until the little blighters learned their lesson and became peaceful.

There will never be peace as long as the majority of Arab nations remain stuck in the 12th Century

I notice you are evading the question I actually asked.

Is this a collective you or an individual you?

all the nations of the world should give them billions in cash in order to better their way of life and bring them up to date.
Perhaps Israel should start it off with a huge donation?

I would think it is only the Arab public stuck in the 12th century the leaders enjoy/endure 21st century living.

It's this individual

Were rockets being fired out of Dublin

With the proviso that we say "Please do not spend it on weapons".....

in order to better their way of life and bring them up to date.

And whose way of life would you "impose" on them.

Perhaps Israel should start it off with a huge donation?

Well they have kick started their scrap metal industry.

That was dam clever of you because you posted the question before I raised the issue of rockets from Dublin.12.18pm tobe excact and i posted at 12.33pm and I had only mentioned T Blair and his inactivity previously,so why is it directed solely at me?

hands up who thinks it would have been a good idea for us to send the RAF to bomb Dublin in reprisal for IRA attacks?

It's the Zionists who are stuck in the past, they justify their occupation of Palestine on something that was written down thousands of years ago, if you appeared in court for breaking into some one elses property could you justify your actions by saying that God spoke to you in a dream and gave you permission to do what you did, if you did you would probably get locked up in an asylum.

 

[JohnD]

So, oompah, if my question was asking if you thought it was a good idea, you didn't answer it.

Do you think it is a good idea or a bad idea to collectively punish people because they share a nationality with some other people who commit terrorist acts?

Of course not! without nuclear weapon technology how can they possibly be considered to be up to date

 

[oompah]

And I,m asking you JohnD why you think i need to answer any of your questions when your original question seem to have no particular collective or individual you attached to it.
