You gotta draw a line somewhere. Mine just happens to be before turning cities into minefields or leaving behind poisonous clouds that could blow into anyone's territory. Getting exasperated and doing as much damage as we possibly can in the hope that we hit some terrorists would be a sign we aren't winning the war on terror, in my opinion.
Take out the enemy where you find them - sure, that much is a given. But you guys who are defending Israel's alleged use of these cluster bombs - would you have supported Israel if they had just nuked Tyre? I'm just curious. Is there a concept of going too far when the enemy is "terror"?
If not, then let's just blow up the whole planet. That would teach those terrorists there is NOWHERE they can hide. Who's with me?

I'm so sick of the Cana thing. First of all the hit occurred at the base of it at 1:00 AM after all civilians were advised to leave, the collapse occured 5 hours later. These people were not hostages they were harbouring them in their homes. They were the terrorists kids they and wives they brought to work with them, and people giving them safe harbor. Millions of leaflets even phone calls in palestine, passing up a strike multiple times because of to many civilians, and a gigantic collection of weapons and terrorists and people harbouring them means nothing should be done?
The strike had 5 hours for people to evacuate then they went right back in to go to sleep and at 6 am it fell. I'm not buying the "we can't leave the city" excuse cause they felt safe enough to rush the embassy and protest in broad daylight in gigantic numbers in beirut.
Are cluster bombs innaccurate and a bad choice? sure, are they tantamount to nukes? NO!
This wasn't shooting blindly at random targets this was shooting precicly (although with cluster bombs) at the individuals places they were using as bases which changed rapidly cause they were getting their asses kicked over the month. Israel didn't accidentially blow up the day care, Hezzbalah was using it as a BASE! and Israel took severe tactical losses by waiting till there was a bare minimum of covilians befor blowing it up.
May I remind you that Hezballah was killing civilians with a 100% ratio befor the war and were trying to start a revolution in lebanon to make the south it's own independent terrorist state.
