[Mean Mr. Mustard]

1. Those kids were obviously coached as to what to say. Unless the Gaza Strip is home to the smartest kids in the world those are obviously someone elses words put into the kids mouth.

2. If you want to look at the poverty in that region they have to look at the leadership who siphons off the aid and directs it towards military channels such as supporting suicide bombers not to mention their own lifestyles. The Palestine Authority is more than happy to sit back and watch the population starve because it raises support for their causes and gets sympathy from the rest of the world.

3. The idiot at the end talking about how there were no military installations in the area. Of course there aren't their "fighters" have taken to hiding behind the civilian population, firing rockets at Israel from schools and hospitals, transporting weapons and ammunition in ambulances, knowing all the while that Israel's hands are tied with regards to actually doing anything about the situation.

Edit: My personal opinion is that it is easy to sit back and be an armchair general, but at the end of the day if there was a group of people from Airdrie who had been forcibly removed from Calgary that was firing rockets into Calgary and threatening my way of life, I would want there to be military action as well. Holding hands just doesn't work in international conflicts, the main concern that I would have would be about protecting my way of life and that of my family and if good people who were living in Airdrie died as a result of the military actions of Calgary, that is unfortunate, but I would much rather someone else die than myself, my family or my friends. Might sound cold and I know people will criticize me for it but the instinct for survival trumps everything in my view at least.
