Quoteso in your opinion, japan should get to come over to america and kill approx 200,000 people to "make up" for the atom bombs?
That would be just and fair. As for should they or not, this entirely depends on their current goal.
As Mike just said above, "That's the problem with "An Eye For An Eye". Pretty soon everyone ends up blind."

QuoteQuotewe don't need middle eastern oil.
True. What I said was, "the availability of oil is a huge concern for the industrialized world." I think that's also true.
On the topic of this conflict growing, here's an interesting article. I watched the Syrian ambassador on TV this weekend. He reminds me of the Iraqi information minister...remember that guy?
Baghdad Bob?
I don't know how valid the story is, but Al Jazeera is reporting that Israel has quietly given Syria a 72-hour window to force Hezbollah to release their soldiers. Syria has pledged support to Lebanon, and Iran has come close to pledging support to Syria (see www.iran-daily.com). The dominos are definitely being set, the questions are how big and complex the pattern will get, and whether anyone will tip them in a way that turns the region into a battlefield for non-regional countries.
