<< Israelis aren't the bad guys, as you wrote, but neither are all of the Palestinians terrorists. >>
ALL of the Palestinian terrorists ARE bad guys. I think that you meant, "all of the Palestinians", but I am not sure.
A lot of people have a "let the corrupt, ruthless ruler skate" mentality.
In Iraq, it's always the American led embargo that causes the peoples suffering, with few blaming Saddam Hussein for peoples misery.
In Cuba, once again, it's America's embargo on Cuba that causes the Cuban peoples misery, and not Castro being totally inept, and his mismanagement of the country.
In the West Bank and Gaza? People don't look at how badly the UN has screwed up Gaza, or how badly Arafat has led the Palestinian people. Competent Palestinian leaders could have had the Palestinian people living a much higher standard of living, and many innocent an precious Israeli lives would have been spared.
North Korea? Perhaps one of the cruelest regimes. The leaders feast, and build weapons systems, while the people literally starve to death. What a horrible situation.
Zimbabwe? And...... where is the UN backbone, or South Africa's backbone. Forces could move into Zimbabwe, and in one day, they could get rid of Mugabe, and not permit Zimbabwe to dissolve into anarchy and misery. But, of course, that is another subject. |
