I have proved my point, you said earlier that there are no similiarities this incident and WWI. And now you said that there is a similiarity. Therefore, you are contradicting yourself. Before you say my argument is 'invalid and laughable', you might think about what you said.
I'm not contradicting myself. "triggering" an event hardly classifies as a similarity. If you're going to use that logic then your last post is the same as attacking another country because it "triggered" my response. That's why it's invalid and laughable.

Like I said, the UN does not go in guns first. You expect countries bickering each other before they all agree on a 'unilaterial response.'
Make a complete thought so it's easier to know what you mean. At any rate, sure trying to reach a solution peacefully is the best option, but after you've exhausted that and people are not cooperating and your goals are not being met you have to make it happen. If that results in the use of military action then so be it. The U.N. has that capability but will NEVER use it even when there are no more options and it's obvious they cannot achieve their goals any other way.

Even if Hezbollah is arming along the southern border, Israel didn't have to bomb Lebanon civilian infrastructure.
Agreed. I don't know why they did and it seems to not make sense. That's probably because we don't know their reasoning. I'm sure they had one, depending on what that is we can make an intelligent decision.

Well, you can believe what Bush's propaganda that Iraq is a stable country and 'democration' of the middle east all you want. And here's the article about the amount of deaths in Iraq.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13952922/ I never said nor did Bush that Iraq was a stable democracy. Not once has anyone said that. If you think they did then you are misinformed. I will restate what I said in my previous post that it takes time. Even the U.S. did not just whip up some documents and live happily ever after.
I will quote you here "Give the situation today, US had 'good' intentions of making Iraq stable but now it is on the verge of a civil war where 100+ people died each day due to violence."
For you to be able to make this claim it would have to at least be commonplace for 100 people to die each day there. A report with numbers like that do not exist because it is false. Then you provided a document that shows that last week insurgents kicked it up a notch. They do that every time an election is going to be held or any time some ground is being made. Get used to it. They are not going to win. Your article did not, however back up the numbers I requested you provide. They said nothing of the sort.
