Chuck,

Don't you understand that voilence against civilians in order to get political power is wrong. As for all the "innocent" Muslims being killed, please look at how and why this is happening; it is not due to anything but trying to get their political points or wants met...this is wrong!!! I grew up in America and as everyone else have some issues and things that I didn't like, however I never thought of killing children and women or bombing anyone to get my point across. Loads of groups in USA and around the world want something from their government, however most of us do not think that killing innocents is the way to get it...unless you are a terrorist, and then this is your way!!!

Do you really believe that the Lebanese people didn't know that Hezbollah was firing missiles from their buildings? If you hide the criminals in your house, you are always liable..especially if those criminals are terrorists. Please understand that giving in to anything in the name of terrorism is a mistake.

In fact, the world must always work against the terrorists by doing exactly the opposite of what they want. For example, if every time a bomber went into Israel we took more land, the terrorism would have stopped. The world has made a big mistake by meeting demands of terrorists and showing that terrorism works to achieve your goals. The only way to change this is to stop giving in to terrorists' demands.
