Think about what they would gain if they destroyed Israel. "The revolution eats its own children."

Well, this is how I see it: 1) Hamas and Hezbollah are probably the only reasons ordinary folks sympathize with Israel in the first place 2) As I see it, their main goal is to destroy the state of Israel. What happens after? Are they competent enough to lead the country, to make it prosper? And...

I'm all for punishing Israel for what they have done, but supporting Hezbollah and Hamas, well, that I will never understand.

Reminds me of this:

Israel does have a history of "overreactions", so I'm not really surprised.

I think the Israelis boarded the ships, and if you look at the mental state of parties: 1) The crew was pissed at being searched in international waters, after being inspected in Turkey, 2) Israel has that constant paranoia, that everyone is out to get them, And all that was needed was...

I know, I was reacting more to the general concept of inspecting ships.

The only reason why I would be (I am not) willing to give Israel the benefit of the doubt is that if you compare it to their other military actions, with which they had their bases covered (a.k.a. the "they're terrorists" argument), this one is a brain fart that just doesn't look like Israel...

Not in the international waters, of course. But every country has the right to control anything and anyone that comes out of or comes into their country and restrict it as they please. But as far as trains, cars and planes go, this happens inside the country. Ships, I'm not sure, but I think...

They sure can stop a ship from entering it's waters, for any reason they please. But at the same time, I think they have no right to check the ship in international waters, as that is outside of their jurisdiction. Therefore, I think, if they want to check the ship, they must do it either in...

About every country in the world? :shifty:

You forgot Momo in the middle and Pepe and Taddei on the wings.

Let me remind you, that last season, with him on the pitch, our goals scored per match average was about three times higher than without him. EDIT: And the news is from Tuttosport, so I would be suspicious he actually said those words.

I know the leagues are separate, I'm not THAT stupid. I just could never find any difference between the way they played football.

Anyway, it's 2am over here, so to clarify my point: I'm not saying Fergie isn't a great manager, definitely one of the best in the history of football. But saying there are no current coaches who can compare with him, is IMO an overstatement, as one has a good case with both Cap and Trap...

I never really understood the difference between Scottish and English football, especially in the 80s. Could you explain to me, what the difference was?

Cap? Trap? Sure, they won less trophies, but won them in different leagues, so you could argue they are better.

I'm not saying he's a bad coach. I'm just saying it's too early to tell. Even Luca Toni scored 30+ goals in two seasons, yet he's far from a world class striker.

Bettega, Nedved, Trap, Vialli, Deschamps, IIRC even Tardelli, all of them refuse(d) to work with our BoD. That really says something.

I think it's too early to judge. He still hasn't finished his second year of coaching, he could still be a fluke (which is IMO unlikely, but the possibility is there).
