Sinergy, First Saddam wasnt bluffing, or did you forget the thousands of Kurds he gassed? Or the weapons he used in Iran? Second, in N Korea the people live in poverty with bicycles that dont work, but the Government and the military is actually very advanced, it's why his military is so large, it's the best way to put food on the table. I get my information from a variety of sources, the ones I discuss here are the unclassified ones. When N Korea launched the Taepodong 2 missile last year (well as 2 dozen scuds, several of which were aimed at me even though we were well out of range of scuds) there were programs on all the major news stations about his capability, the previous version of the Taepodong was a sucessful launch that sailed over Japan and well into the pacific. The second was had faulty electronics and barely got off the ground. I will do some research and find new sources as I dont have the links stored anymore. As for Israel, the most recent war in Lebanon was started due to an act of war by a state sponsored terrorist group, Hizbullah, in which they crossed into Israel, killed 4 IDF soldiers and kidnapped 2 more. That is in addition to hundreds of Qassam rocket attacks from south Lebanon PRIOR to the war. In 1948, Israel declared independence, hours later 7 Arab nations launched an unprovoked invasion. In which Israel won, but lost the Gaza Strip, the Golan, and what later became known as the West Bank. In 1967, Egypy close the Timur straits, cutting off the majority of Israeli shipping, as well both Egpyt and Syria were massing large amounts of troops on Israel's border. With Egpyt's act of war in closing the straights and an invasion being inevitble Israel took the offensive and launched a preemptive strike, destroying the entire Egpytian air force on the ground. 6 days later Israel liberated Gaza, the Golan, and the West Bank, officially Annexing the Golan and Jerusalem. and completely took over the Sinai Pennisula(which Israel later traded as part of a peace deal with Egpyt). Dont forget Israel told Jordan that if Jordan stayed out of the war Israel would not attack the West Bank, Jordan ignored that and attacked Israel. In 1973 Egpyt and Syria launched a suprise invasion, which ended with Israeli tanks within shelling distance of Damascus and Cairo. In 1972 Entebbe, Israel launched a sucessful special forces operation into Uganda to resuce the hostages of an Air France airliner. Israel's track record of peace: Oslo accords- Israel complied with over 75% of it's agreements, the arabs- 0% Camp David- Offered 98% of all palestinian demands(including right of return), arabs response: no way in hell. Giving back the Sinai Leaving Gaza Helping the Egpytians to revolutionize their agricultural industy(thanks to Ariel Sharon). which has helped to build strong relations between the two neighbors, proving that Israel is more than happy to live in peace with her neighbors, if the Arabs want to. The Road map to piece, sabotaged numerous times by Hamas, Hizbullah, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim, and more. Israel always returns bodies of terrorists, even the suicide bombers. The Arabs lynch and mutilate the bodies of IDF soldiers. Israel now is releasing 178 known murders, canceling warrants for others, and once again is sitting down to negotiate with Fatah whose charter still calls for the destruction of Israel.
