That's the most sensible thing you've ever posted.

That conclusion is probably inevitable coming from someone who could simultaneously maintain your politics and yet self-describe as "In the real world, just left of center". But the apparent gibberish does in fact contain meaning, and it is not even deeply concealed.

To be a challenge, it would have to be challenging. It isn't.

The purpose of war is negotiations at a peace table. One can fight a war to get to that table. Or those not using 'big dic' reasoning go there without war. After the ninth Lebanon invasion, nothing was accomplished. Until now. From BBC of 1 Nov 2006:
Quote:
Hezbollah confirms Israel talks
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said a United Nations mediator had been meeting officials from both sides, but he provided no further details.

Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers in July sparked 34 days of fierce fighting in Lebanon.

A UN-brokered truce ended the conflict, in which more than 1,200 people died.

"They are serious negotiations... this issue is on track. We are moving ahead," Sheikh Nasrallah told Hezbollah's TV station. ...

Hezbollah guerrillas captured the two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid on 12 July.

The group has offered to exchange the two Israeli soldiers for Arab prisoners in Israel, but Israel has repeatedly refused.

The UN resolution that ended the fighting called for the soldiers' unconditional release.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan then appointed an envoy to follow up the issue.

When Hezbollah captured Israeli soldiers in 2000, it took four years before talks succeeded and the soldiers were swapped for some 400 Palestinian and 35 Lebanese prisoners, our correspondent says.

You mean we have to fight WWII in Europe over again.
