Why is the US expected to police everyone?! That is what the UN is for! If a country has a problem with another country, dont come crying to the US! Whenever the US intervenes it just gets bitched at by every other country!
Use the UN what it was made for! Solving diplomatic disputes!

There are plenty of other countries in the UN also who could take action if needed, not just the USA. We obviously have our hands full with Iraq (and perhaps soon, Iran) at the moment.

Originally posted by MaxPowerAFAIK US is part of UN, you should at least take the initiative as you're one of the majors in UN. Plus US is the supplier of these weapons here. Why dont you sanctionize Israel, preventing them getting agreements done and armoury stuff..

Anyway back on topic: I really hope this will end soon. The fights in Israel or whereever is unbearable. Where's the love ?

why in the world are some of calling for sanctions on Israel? Hezbollah WENT INTO Israel and attacked Israeli troops, and kidnapped 2 soldiers. What do you expect a country to do when that happens?
Seems like the media is doing a good job of "spinning" the current situation by downplaying the FACT that Hamas and Hezbolla BOTH went into Israel and ATTACKED the IDF. Israel has the right to defend itself, and if they "break", it will be open season on the IDF if Israel does not respond firmly.
