They did. 1948. Technology is not to test the courage but to protect 18-20 year-old boys in harms ways..."Better them dead than us"-

"If [Bush] is a man, let him confront us without [advanced military aircraft]," said [bin Laden], referring to the [US President]. "Let him fight us the honorable way — man to man." Hmmm...sounds a little different if you take the Jew out of the equation. I remember the honorable man to man Palestinian fighting that took place when they shot up a child's coming of age party a few weeks ago. Oh, the bravery that took!

len. at times you are quite funny. You said...." I liked the statement made by one of the Palestinians. He said: "If Sharon is a man, let him confront us without Apaches," said one 30-year-old gunman, referring to the Israeli prime minister. "Let him fight us the honorable way — man to man." How brave is it for the Israelis or the Americans to bomb from gunships, and F-16s, killing not only combatants but civilians as well?"..... On the one hand you defend those crazed arabs who strap bombs to themselves and go out a look for and kill innocent civilians and then you condemn the Jews and Americans who make a concerted effort to avoid killing civilians. IMO the idea in war is to kill the enemy without getting killed yourself...this is smart...the arabs are stupid, its hard to win a war when you are trying to get yourself killed...killing ones self is not brave its stupid. Sharon should have killed arafat when he had the chance but the Jews are a civilized people and don't kill others for the fun of it.... the arabs do....Mr Pearl. Tell me len just what is the honorable way to fight a war?? is it honorable how the arabs ended Mr. Pearl's life, is it honorable to tie someone up and skin them alive, is it honorable to crash passenger jets into buildings and kill thousands of innocent people, is it honorable to execute some poor woman in the middle of a soccer field for entertainment. These are your honorable people that you support The last time the arabs tried to fight the State if Israel man to man they got the crap kicked out of them. War does not determine who is right it determines who is left. Lorne
