Has it occurred to you that Palestine experiences this threat from Israel? Yes, it has.. and for that reason I've never criticized the Palestinians for attacking Israeli forces (just as the Israelis attacked the British occupiers)... But that's a far cry from packing explosives on your child and sending him/her off to blow up civilians. We're supposed to have children in order to pass on the best part of ourselves, not to sacrifice them. I can't imagine what kind of disgustingly warped individual would permit their child to do something they, as a parent, are unwilling to do themselves. As for tolerating a foreign power in the US, I would not attack their civilians (maybe the wives of the commanding officers). But their soldiers are fair game.. The price of putting on a uniform. (and I wore one for 14 years).. There is simply nothing that warrants suicide bombings against civilian targets. While disgusting, I could see a man or woman lauching such an attack against IDF forces, but not civilians. And if that's the kind of society and state they are "fighting for", it's not worth permitting it to come to fruition. Hawk
