If I ran Lebanon...

First, I would have dropped a bomb on that refugee camp that was giving grief, stationing snipers around the building(s) to shoot anyone that ran out. Yes, that would do it--and save Lebanese lives to boot. After all, the Lebanese government is duty bound to protect Lebanese citizens, isn't it? So how many lives have been lost by their countrymen during this latest whateveryoucallit?

I understand there are 200 or 300 or 400 bad guys in this refugee camp giving grief. A really humongous bomb--or two--should take care of them. Those who fled would be taken out by the snipers. Yes, more Palestinians would be killed, but fewer Lebanese would be killed, and the thing would be over. It would probably save lives in the long run. It would certainly save real estate.

And no-one would have had the balls to plant a bomb in downtown Beirut. They would have been too busy shaking in their shoes, or being dead.

Act crazy and the world respects you. Better yet, they fear you. Ask Ahmydinnerjacket. It works for him. Imagine him taking Americans hostage while Teddy Roosevelt was president! Ahmydinnerjacket would be changing his underwear frequently, the ugly little sod.

I know I just don't understand war, or international relations, blah blah. So don't bother to tell me.
