Now that that unpleasantness is behind us, I would like to raise an issue: to what degree should we anticipate Israeli involvement in the campaign against terrorism, and what effect will this have on the Palestinian Question?

I think Israel should be closely involved. Inevitably, they will be on the level of intelligence, but I think they should be on an operational level too, especially special ops. I am not sure if it is politically feasible, but I would guess that we can get away with it. If things go well, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad will be dealt with, and the PLO with be hanging by a thread. I think it will take the wind out of the Intifada, and decrease the incidence of terrorism, although there might be a slight uptick initially. We need to get rid of camps, headquarters, nests, and conduits of cash, materiel, and other aid. Lebanon must be dealt with, in some manner. I cannot continue as a sanctuary and festering sore........

It is especially sad to see you disrupting the thread at a time of world crisis like this, when people are trying to sort through so many emotions. The matter I brought to Neo was meant for Neo to respond to--not some ragged little name caller like you. You will do anything to earn a head pat from Neo, won't you? You can never resist the temptation when opportunism presents the chance for a head pat, and a chance to ameliorate your poignant feelings of inferiority.

And what did you contribute? Well, absolutely nothing--the same as always! Nothing but name calling. Because of your selfish need to call names, and your pathetic attempts to "buy" Neo's acceptance of you--you disrupted the emotions of both regulars and lurkers. You turned what was a one on one challenge into a forum for a couple of weak-minded toadies to shoot off their overlarge mouths.

I wish I could give you a big hug to comfort all the hurt you have, and to scare away your little daymares. But that would probably scare you away. You might think that I was gay and that I actually liked you--LOL!
