Pretty crappy way to treat a Lutheran minister. But then, he's Arab, so I guess it's ok.
Well, it's CERTAINLY NOT OK, imo... Just as it's not "ok" to send a 10 year boy to blow himself up...
Both sides are descending to a level of brutality brought about by the extremism Arafat (imo) has encouraged and/or tolerated. In fact, Sharon is in office because of Arafat's call for an new intifada and the disgrace of Barak, has empowered the extremists on the Israeli side.
There's "blood in the water" now, and sharks on either side are in a frenzy.
The question is how, without ordering US troops in between the two parties, does the US control the Israelis?? Today's attack, using a 10 year boy, will only strengthen Israel's case that they have to eliminate the extremist infrastructure, so these Palestinian kids will spend time in school, and not as "martyrs"...
Btw, does a 10 year old even have a concept of what collecting 72 virgins actually means?
