Prospector said:Well, I am thinking we should go back to the days when the people forcing these wars on us (ie the Kings of old, the Prime Ministers/Presidents of now) have to actually take part in the battle themselves - like Braveheart for instance leading the charge. Then the physical and brutal impact of the war becomes a reality for them.
These days, it is all so hi-tech that leaders (and the general public too) watch TV showing lights indicating the blowing up buildings on a television screen, like an advanced computer game. They dont see the bodies, the blood, and cant hear the screams of the people anymore so forget that their hitech equipment is actually killing people. It is war by remote control!

History is written by the side who wins... and the side who wins are always portrayed as the good guys!
Rafa said:Taking out the Iranian govt tho might just do the trick!
Prospector said:I dont know who the good guys are anymore
visual said:In my opinion the good guys are the ones who dont hide behind civilians while shooting missiles.

visual said:Well without sounding too harsh,but if you allow yourself and your family to be put in that position then obviously you are not a civilian.The lack of a military uniform hardly makes you a civilian if you in fact are there of your own volition.And a good guy who puts on a military uniform and shoots back is only doing his duty.
Prospector said:Are we talking about the same thing Visual?The Israelis have so far laid guided missiles on an ambulance, UN station and people's homes. This is their home, where they live and work. Even if they were given warning to evacuate, well, could they do so in time, where could they go and maybe they couldnt afford to anyway - just like the people ahead of Hurricane Katrina. That's who I am talking about, but from your comments I am thinking maybe we are not on the same page?
visual said:Prospector,I think we are talking about the same thing ,but you are much nicer than me,
the ambulance thing that was discredited,a missile would have left a much bigger damage,don`t know as I`m not a military person.As for the homes and work places ,even a few days ago the Herald sun published photos clearly showing "civilians"manning a missile launcher,another civilian was keeping an eye out over a particular area,cant remember the importance of this area,but there he stood with this machine gun,in cicilian clothes.
