12:43 pm
mkg

all the protestors who died so far, it makes me so sad to think many of them would have helped set up a good government. i read that some groups have already written to the US about this. but what do i know? not much. I justr pray we see a new government which will give the money to their citizens rather than to hezbollah and hamas. but who knows.
12:43 pm
hurshy

if you want to know more you should read things by or watch interviews with people who are actually experts on such things
12:44 pm
hurshy

but just think about whether you have ever looked at a problem in your own life and thought, "you know what would really help here? destruction!"

you are righrt hurshy, but they have destroyed many of the military facilities which were filled with potential nuclear weapons, and other missles etc. i have not heard of any targeting of civilians. on the other hand, iran has targeted civilians only in israel. not sure what to say., except if you read about the slow establishment of Nazi Germany, it is similar and the allies waited far too long to get into that war. the results were over 200 million deaths. earlier on perhaps there would have been far fewer deaths. appeasement does not work nor does continual negotiations which have gone nowhere for decades now.
12:48 pm
cybernan

french version of that, hurshy
12:48 pm
hurshy

whether they targeted them or not, mkg, they did hit a girls school and killed dozens of children there
12:49 pm
BzznBea

Our missles kille 100+ girls in a school.
12:49 pm
