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. Albert, let me make clear.......terrorism is totally unacceptable to me. Never once have I claimed its acceptable. 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 Terrorism in the form of the suicide bomber is a relatively new phenomenon....I think the first one was in the late '80s. How do you explain the conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians before that time? 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.... There will always be fanaticals in any population. However, do you think, if that 1/3 had access to a good job and/or education, they all still would want to blow themselves up? 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 you really believe that's how Andreas thinks? Do you really think he doesn't know a terrorist when he sees one? I don't think you really believe that so I don't understand why you make those kinds of accusations against him. ted
