One thing I find interesting is that when someone takes something and offers 80% of it back, that's an offer that shouldn't be refused, especially when it's 80% of what several UN resolutions (we seem to enforce the ones we like best) said should be given back.
The fact is I was being liberal, outside of Jerusalem, they were getting almost everything they wanted. The Israeli's are forced to maintain certain issues, to uphold their security. Why? Because since 1949 The Arab world has called for their extinction. So thy took what they had to to defend their lives.
I agree 1000% about setlements
Again you have not provided evidence, to why palestinians have any credibility when their leader, as you said doesnt have the character to make a compromise. Rubin did and he is dead, but at least he had the balls to try to do the right thing. Arafat is obviously a coward, and not a legitamate leader.
Blowing up a Hotel, and killing 9 year olds is not the same, sorry.
Last I checked OBL killed 2000 americans and cost us a few hundred Billion, how that is not a legitamate reason to go after someone I dont know what is. As for Sadam, he has attempted to assasinate an American Pres, disregarded a ceasefire, and is an all arround louse. Is the US overstating the treat, maybee. However the Idea of preventive medicine makes sense to me. Before WWII Americans were convinced the Japenese were going to invade CA. Was the threat overstated, of course. The pourpose was to prepare, and inform for the seriousness of the possibility even, if it was remote. Thats how Govt works.
I try to be objective, and fair. I was for the peace process for many years. Blowing up kids on buses has destroyed any credibility I had for palestinians. If you look at the parties and their motivation, the palestinians have only themselves to blame. |
