|  |     Mike, "Preventative Maintenance", as you refer to it is preferable
    to retaliation.  Why?  Because retaliation is obviously in response
    to an attack from the enemy, which in their case could imply civilian
    casualties.  Much better to nip evil in the bud.

    Granted.  I looked back at .0 and realized that I might
    have lent a negative attitude towards the subject, neigh,
    I was was just wondering what everyone else thought.

|  |     Mike,
    
    I have always found it difficult to form an opinion on any of Israel's
    military actions.  It is hard for me to judge right from wrong or
    good from bad when my emotions get in the way.  My usual response
    to something like an air strike or "preventative maintenence" as
    you call it, has always been that Israel does what is necessary to
    survive...good or bad.

    Israel has more to fear from Lebanon than we had to fear from Laos
    then.
