monu, Well spoken. Fundamental Islam = Fascism is a message that I've tried to broadcast myself for years from my travels in the Middle East and Africa and seen the suffering of Arab minorities and Africans at the hands of these fundamentalists. I think that statement has become very sharply in focus now. Your observations raise another systemic immigration point that we need to address too- and that is temporary/visitor visa system. Europe is very rigorous in expelling visitors to their countries when their temporary visas expire. We need massively to bolster the INS in order to track improper temporary visa holders in the US and expel them too.....(For very obvious reasons. Anyone figured out yet why they really shut down the airports yet and added additional restrictions on movement? It's because we have trapped a whole bunch of additional fundamentalist cockroaches in the cookie jar). Finally interestingly my feelings on Israel track yours identically too. I served as President of the Houston Junior Chamber of Commerce and then on the Senior Chamber Board- and was always seen as "even-handed" on Middle Eastern issues, and too thought Israel to be a little heavy-handed in dealings with the Palestinians. In fact the Israeli delegation declined attendace at our annual Consular Ball because I had invited a member of the PLO to speak at a monthly Junior Chamber of Commerce Meeting in Houston back in 1989. But like you now too, the scales have fallen from my eyes, and I see Israel's role as a very vital role in the front line defense against these Islamic Fundamentalist fascists such as members of Hezbollah and Fatah, Islamic Jihad and others (all of whom I believe will be implicated in these attacks and subsequent attacks). And as for Palestinian Americans celebrating the deaths caused by these attacks- I doubt that- It is likely foreign illegals here because of our defective immigration system. And as my cousin who is a policeman says, it's time to admimister "habeas thumpus" as the police call it. Israel indeed is the only democratically elected government in the Middle East. They deserve and require our protection
