(4,616 posts)Relate. Myself and my EX were on opposing sides. I was totally against. And I see Israel making the same mistakes made now that were made after 9/11. Israel is playing right into the already established "how to bait a country, evoke a specific response, an over- response, and turn world opinion against them" because of said over response playbook. Like I said down thread, we've already seen this movie. And it doesn't end well and nothing is accomplished except LOTS of dead and the creation of generations of new terrorists. Only difference, Israel is sitting right smack in the middle of 'The Axis of Evil" if you will. If people don't see this "war" could very likely suck the US right into another 20 year exercise in futility, and blow up the ENTIRE M/E they are fooling themselves. Bibi has already stated this would take 10 years. You think the "war on terrorism was bad", just wait until this one gets going in full swing.
