26 March 2000
London's Sunday Times reports that the Israeli government is considering planting small nuclear landmines near the Golan Heights which could be detonated to halt a Syrian tank invasion. The plan, reportedly called "David's Sling," involves deploying neutron bombs in the manner of landmines to thwart any tank advance after the mountain region is handed back to Syria as a result of peace talks between Damascus and Tel Aviv. The paper also alleges that a neutron artillery shell has already been tested and laser-guided rockets with neutron warheads are ready for use.

Syria has every right to take their occupied territory back - I doubt, however, they have the ability to, at least not without Iranian assistance.

If the attack were limited to taking back the Golan and stopped there, I actually doubt the US would get involved. I think the US population is pretty skeptical about getting involved in more Mideast wars right now, no matter how much propaganda our leadership pumps out.

If Iran and Syria attacked Isreal, wouldn't that be between Iran, Syria and Isreal? Besides, this isn't a case where one side is "bad" and the other "good". Both sides have acted in less than civil terms to the other side.
Seems to me that if they want to fight, treat them like kids - let them fight without interference. If it looks like Isreal is about to fall then stop the conflict(Through the UN first, then by sending troops to Isreal to defend, to allow a UN solution). However, if either side feels such hatred for the other one, I say let them work out the agression.
That is how we handle young boys that want to fight each other isn't it? Try and stand between them and the conflict esculates, let them fight and both sides (usually) realize that fighting = pain, and pain = sucks, and the suckiness of the pain > the hatred of the others.
- I wish it were true, but sadly, all these things will happen. Whether it is now or later is a debatable point, but Isreal will be the instigator of the US's final collapse.
- Leaving you completely open from an attack from Russia, or China or North Korea, or for that matter any other smallish group - maybe even a terrorist organisation? They would be completely justified in doing so you understand right? That is ofcourse completely secondary to the issue of how would the US fair in such a war. Sadly recent history seems to state the US would far pretty badly
- They were never there to "fix" anything. They were there with the assumption that civilized people wish to get along and live in peace with one another. In order to do that, conversation and communication are needed. The UN was built to provide that platform. However, the platform is useless when a vito'ing member acts like a only child with an inferiority complex.
- As I am sure you would if your home country is ever invaded - right? Fighting to the death for your country is, I thought, an ideal held in high esteam from America? You are wrong about the "pain = sucks" thing as well, but it is conditional.
