Let's see. I want to make certain that I have this correct. It is very confusing. If Israel pinpoints and executes terrorist leaders who have aided in planning attacks on innocent civilians, that is bad. If the United States declares war on terrorist leaders who aided in planning attacks in New York and Washington, that is good. If Israel has to compromise some civilian rights of Arabs in order to protect its citizens from murderous assault, that is bad. If the United States must take cautionary steps that limit immigration and other freedoms in order to protect its citizens from murderous assault, that is good. If Israel will not negotiate with terrorists or their governmental supporters until all acts of terrorism stop, that is bad. If the United States will not consider any deals that do not include the surrender of Bin Laden and his thugs, that is good. If Israel, with its international isolation, must work with less than pure regimes, then that is bad. If the United States works with terrorist sponsors as Iran, Pakistan and Syria to win its own security, then that is good. If Israel tries to become part of the coalition against terrorism, it is bad. (Could offend some Moslem States). If the United States counts on Israel, in spite of the rejection, to provide it with major information about terrorists, then that is good. If Israel protests the wanton destruction of Jewish artifacts and shrines in Nablus and the Temple Mount, it is annoying, seemingly petty and, therefore, quite bad. If the United States reacts with justifiable anger at the wanton destruction of symbols of America's achievements and power, it is right, moral and good. When Israel's civilian population was attacked by murderous scud missiles from Iraq, it was warned not to retaliate by the United States, that would be bad. When the United States' civilian population was attacked by murderous missiles, commanded by immoral automatons and vowed massive retaliation, that was very very good. You must admit; it is confusing
