Ted re: show me where I, or Andreas for that matter, said that. I don't like words put into my month particularly when the subject is so sensitive....... No, I mean to say that if the Palestinians had a pot to piss in..... truth time......do you really believe Andreas supports the terrorists? Why are you willing to lie like that? Because he is German? I hope not. truth? Was not it said that terrorist act is a matter of perception? That statement alone take away our right to judge someone like bin Ladin, after all from his personal perspective he is a hero. Your's and especially Andrea's "understanding" is the reason why this is happening over there for 50 years. You may not see it but I do. If terrorism would be unexceptable to people like you and Andreas then it would be stopped. If terrorism would be totally unexceptable then Palestinians would be treated much better because Israeli's would not fear each and every one of them one of the palestinian reps was talking that the polls show that 2/3 of palestinians would agree to live in peace if there would be independent state of palestine and economical needs would be addressed. Here we go, see majority would not blow themself up. What about that other 1/3 that would continue with their fight? It takes only one for sucide bomb to go off.... It is easy for Andreas to say that "hmm......, I do not particularly feel comfortable with that solutioon nor do I feel like calling a terrorist - terrorist." Maybe he would feel somewhat different if his daughter would be poralyzed. do not tell me that it is ok to blow up civilians for any reason -Albert

>No, I mean to say that if the Palestinians had a pot to piss in.....translated that means a home, a car and a boat etc.....they would be less inclined to blow up themselves or others. A self evident truth is the more middle class a person becomes the more conservative he/she becomes. He/she is less likely to be a killing machine. Ted- Every single one of the bombers on Sept. 11th was middle-class and educated... except for the last couple of days or so when some people have been handing out explosive belts left and right, it takes training and lots of planning to become a bomber. It's not a spontaneous thing. -Z
