I'd have to say, in a hypothetical war between Israel and Canada, you'd get your ass handed to you.
Canada's best weapon is it's good standing in the world. Don't discount that because, as an American, you know nothing about it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

You really think so, considering that such an action would result in an incredible amount of backlash from the world against Israel for such aggression.

Canada would never pull the ****, and that's because we are a nation of principle and not of pandering."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Oh I dunno, Israel couldn't even handle a few greatly outnumbered and outgunned Hezbollah militia types - let alone a modern army.
As anyone could tell you, there is a great difference between guerilla or terrorist warfare and full-pitched battles between modern armies.
Ever heard of the Six Day War ?
Napoleon's armies couldn't defeat Spanish guerillas in the Peninsula War. The Germans couldn't eradicate all the partisans on the Eastern Front, and even had more than a little local difficulty in eradicating the Warsaw Ghetto.
It's difficult to see how the Israeli forces were meant to distinguish a Hezbollah fighter from any other Lebanese citizen, especially when they didn't want to be found.Last edited by molly bloom; April 13, 2007, 06:55.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

They didn't bother - hence the vastly disproportionate civilian to enemy casualty ratio...
So even though the Israelis were shooting at everything that moved, they still got their asses handed to them on a plate...

That's 'arses', if you don't mind, you Yankee ass-licker....
I don't recall this 'ass-handing' by Hezbollah. Where did this momentous defeat of a whole army (or army group) take place ?Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
