Do you post this stuff because you believe it or are you just running it up the flagpole to see if anyone waves?

Brzezinski has it backwards:
Gardels: This political process should go forward even as suicide bombings take place?

Brzezinski: If we don't do that, then we make any so-called cease-fire a hostage to any act of terrorism.


Pursuing a "peace process" while suicide bombers scatter as many Israeli body parts as possible only encourages more of the same. The Islamists must understand that their "peace" will not occur as long as their tactics remain the same. To do otherwise would only encourage them. Also, is Sharon doing anything different from what we(although I'm not sure you consider yourself a part of the same "we" as I do) did in Afghanistan? No. He is attacking the infrastructure of terror except that his soldiers are also dealing with hundreds of booby-trapped buildings, trashcans, cars, refrigerators, mines and snipers.

And one more little detail you (and Brzezinski) overlook. Any difference between the goals of the Islamists and the Palestinians as a whole are becoming blurred. You expect Israel to lay down for a "peace" with Arafat while there are still high-level Muslim clerics calling for the destruction of all Jews:http://www.memri.org/news.html#1019000308
Teachers in hundreds of madrassahs calling for the destruction of Israel, Saudi telethons raising millions for bomber's families, punk dictators like Al-Assad in Syria lobbing shells randomly into Israel by proxy from Lebanon?

No dice, punk. Run that stuff up some other flagpole.
