TP, I recently saw an article that voiced some concerns of victims of terrorist attacks that occurred prior to Sept.11. They are upset because they feel they were not compensated as generously as are the victims of the Sept 11th attack. I'll try to find the article and post it here for review.

White House rejects Sharon criticism - - - - - - - - - - - - ASSOCIATED PRESS Oct. 5, 2001 \| WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House on Friday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for accusing the Bush administration of appeasing Palestinians in a bid to bolster Arab support for counterterrorism. "The prime minister's comments are unacceptable," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Print story E-mail story -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Israel has no stronger friend and ally in the world than the United States," he added. "President Bush is an especially close friend of Israel. The United States has been working for months to press the parties to end the violence and return to a political dialogue. The United States will continue to press both Israel and the Palestinians to move forward." On Thursday, Sharon vowed in a Tel Aviv news conference that "Israel will not be Czechoslovakia. Israel will fight terrorism." He likened Bush administration Mideast policies to the submission of European democracies, on the eve of World War II, to Adolf Hitler's demands to take over Czechoslovakia. "Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense," Sharon said. Fleischer responded, "The United States is not doing anything to try to appease the Arabs at Israel's expense." He said Bush was unhappy about Sharon's remarks, and the president's displeasure was communicated to Israel through officials in the U.S. Embassy in Israel, the National Security Council and the State Department. Hours after Sharon spoke, Israeli troops backed by tanks seized two Palestinian neighborhoods in Hebron, killing five Palestinians and marking the virtual end of a cease-fire both sides agreed to last month.
