Seeing as how the International News has been locked by two peoples stupid arguments(one being a Mod should know better) this is a place where you can actually talk about the news.
We could start with the Israel - Lebanon conflict.

For some reason, I have this feeling that this might turn into a World War III.

[JDog]

I feel the same thing you do Gamefreak.

I hope it doesn't - but I can see how you could be right. I hope it can be sorted out peacefully.

Don't even go there.  Jack Fate was warned multiple times to stop trying to start a religious debate.  Gamefreak handled it quite well, and now Jack Fate will be banned.

[JDog]

He's a regular Ganon ;D J/K

He argued for what he believed in. Is that so wrong?
No it is not.

As you lot are so off topic I shall get us back on track.

The fighting is awful. Innocent people are being killed, over 180 British people have been shipped out. Something should be done!

[JDog]

Thanks for getting us back on topic TZ, I feel war is bad.

[Darth Wyndisis]

Which was religion.  We don't allow arguments about that here because of the emotional investment people have in it.

Anyway, I need to watch the news more often now, like I used to.  Maybe it is the fear of being overwhelmed by all the big stories.

[JDog]

Same here DW, I need to watch the news much longer.

The unfortunate problem is that religious tensions seem to be a cause of many of the worlds fighting.
The Isreali's aren't really fighting the Lebannon, they are fighting Herzbollah - the terrorist group - who Israel believe poses a threat to their security and kidnapped their soldiers.

To that I agree.

[MasterKeyX]

I believe Hezbollah poses a threat tothe world at this point, not just israel. There as bad as the Taliban was.

I'm kind of interested to see what will happen with this whole Middle East situation when we get a new president in January of 09.
