40. This is not a war. It's just a destructive rampage by a military
that has zero opposition. (The rockets into N. Israel do not constitute opposition.)

Now, if Lebanon had 500 jet fighters with well trained pilots and unlimited funds (such as the U.S.) backing them and they were shooting down as many Israeli jets and the other way around, that would be WAR.

My belief is that Israel is sealing their fate by this recent unwarranted attack. I'm not saying that because I personally want that but, because this most recent campaign has imprinted in the minds one unified thought and that is to pay Israel back for what they have done.

Technologies are changing to the extent that future conflicts will not be decided with counts of tanks, soldiers, airplanes and munitions. Nor will they be decided by isolated terror attacks on handfuls of people.
