Past history does support my position. When terrorists are allowed to attack with impunity they just get bolder and stronger. They are weaker only because they don't have the arms that we provide Israel. That's why their death rate is double Israel's. My point was merely that they were weaker and that's why they die in larger numbers when they fight. Your comment is just confirming my point. However they are not weaker only because they don't have the arms that we provide Israel. If we provided Israel with nothing the Palestinians would still be weaker. If Israel had the same level of concern about avoiding civilian casualties that the Palestinians do (namely absolutely none, because in fact civilian casualties are desired) then the difference in deaths would not be 2 to 1 but maybe 200 to 1. That's what's funny...........Israel is in no danger of looking weak. Any country, including the US looks weak if it allows attacks against itself with no response. Those who might want to make such attacks figure they can probably get away with it. its what keeps feuds going until one of the two parties collapses or one party obliterates the other or both parties become mortally wounded. This isn't a feud. Its not to close to equal parties engaged in a cycle of violence. Its one group of murderous thugs striking with stealth against soft targets while another much more powerful group tries to hunt them down. Its as much like the FBI hunting down a Mafia family as it is the Hatfields and the McCoys, the important difference being that the Mafia is in it to make money not kill people at random. Most importantly it is not a cycle of violence. Hamas is going after Israel whether or not Israel goes after Hamas. And soon, they will be saying the same thing with Iraq and that's what will perpetuate our stay there. And that's because there is no winning in Iraq. We have already lost. That simply isn't true.
