I, at least, can not help when I listen to all these folks talking about what should or should not be done, I can‘t help but remember the facts from which this present situation comes. When the head of the European Union stands forward and tries to pretend that they have so much weight and credibility in addressing this problem, I can‘t help but remember that many Europeans sat on their hands and did nothing while millions of Jews were slaughtered in the era that gave birth to the state of Israel. I can‘t help but remember that. Z, there was nothing more disturbing to me as a kid when I found out what happened to the Jews during WWII, and how the US and Europe did nothing while Hitler set up his final solution for European Jewry. Having said that, the world, and more specifically Europe and the US have paid over and over again for their indifference. To bring this up now is a cheap shot. Israel is a successful, well off country with considerable military clout in its region. Its actions need to be evaluated from that perspective and not from the perspective of what happened over 60 years ago. Its unfair to all concerned. Just as I don't think we should be manipulated by Arafat's candlelight vigil; I don't think we should allow our thinking biased by the events of WWII. ted
