In the real world the child would already be dead - the Israeli soldier would have shot it.In the picture was an Israeli soldier standing in front of a child's pram with a gun. On the other side was a radical hiding behind the pram with a weapon.

MMMmmmm..it seems that this argument will just go round and round the whole time... IMO there is only one way to solve the problems in that region.... If I was president of the world... I would just drop a huge nuke ( or a couple) on Palestine/Israel and render that whole region uninhabitable for centries to come.... destroy all those holy places they are fighting about.. yada yadah yadah.. and when the region is safe for human habitation again, I would replace any remaining holy sites with the world's biggest malls and theme parks and that.... yeah!!! I mean who doesnt like theme parks huh?!
At least you're not a pacifist who would sit back and let the whole place go down the crapper anyway![]()
Could you show me where is was "better"?
Well for starters if NK thought they could get away with it they'd invade SK tomorrow. Same with China and Taiwan.......
With Natas they wouldn't because they would know the consequences of their actions. With a pacifist there would be none. Countries could do as they pleased with only "dialogue" standing in their way.

There is obviously a better way than both extremes thankfully.

Yeah but what you gonna do about the problems with NK/SK, China and Taiwan, Russia and Chechnya, Pakistan and India and the whole bloody continent of Africa.
Then again they'll probaly start behaving themselves for fear of being nuked.![]()

There are a FEW things I would be willing to die for... one is refusing to have any religion forced upon me... I would gladly join the army to fight off any force that would have me join a religion. I LOATHE religion!! What has religion given the world other than wars and suffering!??!
The world is getting more and more complicated and we are witnessing the acceleration of history. I think the most serious threat to the world is china. Until this point, China's only interest/intention has been to do business with other countries. But in the near future they will be running out of resources such as water. this is when China will become a real and serious threat!! Forget Iran and look to China.... IMO Iran getting nukes is the worst of the world's worreis. Watch this space!!
I agree. China wants Taiwan and have increased their military budget something silly. They also seem to have found out to work with some powerful kinetic weapons.
What do you mean by Kinetic weapons? Do you mean rail guns? Rail guns rock hard!! I know the US has managed to propel a metal pellet (2 pound metal pellet) at 6 kilometres a second!!! but this speed the rail gun blew up. They can only consistently propel is at 4 kilometres a second. I would like to see something like this combat tested!!
No, a 20ft tungsten rod from a satellite. Once it reaches 60k meters per second it becomes devastating... without the fallout.
I doubt they would invade. They don't have the man power. I wouldn't think anything beyond surgical air strikes to remove nuke issues or government officials.
U. S. intelligence agencies believe China performed a successful anti-satellite (asat) weapons test at more than 500 mi. altitude Jan. 11 destroying an aging Chinese weather satellite target with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile.
A non-nuclear weapon design involves what are called kinetic energy impacters. These are tungsten rods that travel in earth orbit. They can be deorbited to hit a spot on the ground. The rods use their orbital speed, which can be more than eight kilometers per second, to provide the kinetic energy to penetrate and destroy targets.
Thats not a "better", the world has always been cr4p. If its not Greeks fighting over city states its the Mongolians committing mass genocide. While we still have major conflict around the world.. its changed its face and effect. Fighting for peace is like fking for virginity. Its not getting cr4ppier.. its doing what it always does.
The point, probably, is that many of those fighting Israel operate as guerrillas so they fight from within civilian areas whereas the Israelis are heavily armed, and, for example, use helicopter gunships to assassinate people.In the real world the child would already be dead - the Israeli soldier would have shot it.
I'm sure they restrict themselves to shooting Palestinian children.You have justification for this statement? Have you got record of Israeli soldiers shooting Israeli civilians?
I'm sure they restrict themselves to shooting Palestinian children.
Do you think an Israeli soldier premeditates killing a Palestinian child?
Have you even seen what the wall will look like, what path it will follow.... there are many ways to kill your enemy, the least cruel of which is a quick and painless death, a bullet to the temple. A more cruel way to dispense with your enemy is take away everything, make him loose all hope and wish that he was dead. Go an have a look and what the wall will look like. there is a documentary about it....cant remember the name. If you WANT to watch it I can find out for you....
