But i will say this, i am agaisnt the agressors of war, as the defenders really dont have a choice. Also to the Evil Elf, letting them kill each other i believe is a very arrogant isolationists view, we live in the same world together, and if we can help people killing other people in this world, and have the ability to do so and dont, we are just as bad as the agressors.
Also to world watcher, i do totaly agree with you. It is extremely sad that war and terroism is a higher prioity than poverty. Since poverty normaly breeds war and terroism, we ignore the underlying problem and try to treat the symptons of poverty.

The Lebanon 2006 war has produced its first conscientious objector - Staff Sergeant Itzik Shabbat, a 28-year-old TV producer. He refused to comply with an emergency order (Tsav 8) to report Tuesday for reserve duty in the territories in order to free forces in the standing army for the war in Lebanon.
Shabbat, a resident of Sderot, had not yet decided last night whether he would go to his reserve unit Wednesday and announce there that he was refusing to do reserve duty or whether he would not report at all and be considered absent.
"I know people will attack me and ask how could I not take part in this war when Qassams are falling on my hometown and Katyushas on the towns in the north," he told Haaretz. "In my opinion, only this type of opposition that I've chosen will put an end to the madness that is going on now and will shatter the false feeling that the entire home front supports this unnecessary war that is based on deceptive considerations
