Israel

[EGross]

BTW EGross, if I ruled Egypt, I will open my borders with Gaza not for Hammas, but for the civilians ..you know that Israel can go to war with egypt if they opened those borders for civilian, right ?

I can also enter my neighbors home and take his TV if he leaves his door open. It doesn't mean that I will. That's the great thing about having a democracy with a few reasonable non-believers in the government, they get to put a leash on such things.

(Last year, when Hamas was shooting at us for weeks, we did not respond until the government conferenced, reviewed, and finally called in the reserves, put them into position, and after two months, THEN they fought back.)

It is similar to me being an atheist. I have a sense of moraliity and it has nothing to do with a deity. And yet, if given an opportunity to do evil, one might think that I should take it since I do not believe in reward/punishment, heaven/hell. But we don't work that way.

I do not believe that the government of Egypt would be so stupid to open the very borders that would cause a rabid Hamas to disrupt their lives. But if they do, we can watch the fireworks as they try to put the rats back into their holes.
