re: And isn't the fact that the Palestinians buried 17 people as a result of action by Israeli armed forces in the past few days worth noting? Sure, but then we should also then note that for each Palestinian mother willing to send her child to his death, she gets $15,000 from the PLO; which is probably reimbursed by the Saudi Government. haaretzdaily.com click on the "view all" icon of the scrolling update section. Maybe we should also mourn the suicide killer who went to the teen disco and killed 20 teens, mostly girls, or the other "martyr" who exploded himself in the Sbarro pizza place, also killing mostly women and kids? While there are always going to be those that sympathezie with the poor and oppressed Palestinians, the fact remains that they are breedign suicide killers to be leant out to the cause. I believe whenever the FBI finally figures out who these latest martyrs were, you will find Arafat's people probably spawned them. I am incensed that our government is trying to appease Arafat and grant him credibility; of course, Israel may just stand up to George Jr., and send in the tanks to clean them up; of course, had America not caved in to Saudi and Egyptian demands in 1983, nor ran from Beirut when we had the chance to pre-empt some of this terrorist training acitivity, there wouldnt have been a training camp in the Bekkaa Valley for these latest American killers to train in. You'll hear about that eventually; but not until we play our hand in Afganistan and watch Kuwait and Saudi Arabia get attacked by Iraq; or will Saddam pick Jordon this time? The fact is, America didnt want Marines in Lebanon, so we scampered away, showing the Arab terrorists that the American public didnt have the stomach for casualties; particularly when it appeared that it wasn't our fight; well, they brought it home for us, didnt they?
