I criticize every post I see? Maybe every post of yours, yes. I hate to break the sad news to you, but the second "source" you cited is a purported humor website--note that the expert on rock throwing mentioned is called "Joe Beanball." The author is "Ben Arnold" (Get it? Benedict Arnold). That you didn't notice that this was a humor/satire website speaks volumes. I also do not like to get my news on Israel from Arab terrorist websites. You do. Find a different source if you wish to be taken seriously. As far as civilians being hurt, that is a sad fact of every war. The terrorists (like the Nazis in WW Two) are always nestled among civilians, causing high civilian casualties when democratic countries try to defend themselves. The address of the true killer of any Palestinians killed in the so-called Intifadeh: Yasser Arafat, Palestinian Authority, Gaza Strip. You may write him there if you are so troubled. Tell him to stop using children to fight his war. Where the Israelis have found true peace partners, such as in Egypt, they have returned land & found peace. Arafat may rhyme with Sadat, but there the resemblance ends.

James, I'm really impressed at your news sources. Why bother with ITN, CNN, AP, Reuters, when you can have an Islamic source dose out your news. Same source that indicated the Iraq's were routing the Americans, the Israeli's were jumping into the sea in '67, the Jews were destroying the mosque above the site of the second temple, causing the murder of hundreds of Jews in 1929, the same site that you can't find one favorable non-Islamic comment on any topic. Pathetic, Go to Afganistan and wake up to a special glow in the mornings, soon.

The major dependent on Middle East oil is the world's #2 economy, Japan. Even if we broke our habit and stopped our purchases, oil prices would rise, leaving Japan twisting in the wind.... which is not sound economically since they are already in the quagmire of depression. Just as there are rogue officers in municipal police depts, there are rogues within Israeli forces causing a black eye to all. However, I believe the US HAS been pressuring Israel to contain the excess for quite a few years now. Recall that they kept Israel out of the Gulf War despite it being subjected to 6 dozen or so SCUD missiles. Some medical relief to the Palestinians would certainly be a nice gesture. There is some validity to the Nazi comparison in a few cases since Hussein and Arafat were raised within a heavily Nazi influenced home. And the US calls it war; is there another more apt definition of what it is?
