Clap, <If there's some supreme being that over sees all of us, does he want us to kill those that don't worship every word that someone else puts into his mouth? The Crusades were a good example...> Timing being everything, I literally had just finished reading this article re: the Crusades on the Fool (I would have linked directly to the article instead of the the post that adds its own commentary, but SI wouldn't let me post the article link): boards.fool.com jpgill

<<...I was merely pointing out how Israel isn't gaining many popularity points. Their list of friends might begin to feel even smaller...>> Clappster: You may be right...There's clearly no military solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict...It's unfortunate that Sharon's IDF may have pushed things a little too far...Yet, I'm not a fan of Arafats either -- he has failed to effectively lead the Palestinians towards peace...Here are a couple of interesting articles I posted over on The Foreign Affairs Thread...

No, I knew you blamed Israel......... You did not read my post close enough......... and then you jumped to conclusions without sufficient facts........ just like you automatically assumed Israel started the fire. Arson is just as likely a cause for the fire per the reasons in my post. The list of Israel's friends continues to get hurt because too many people are ready to quickly believe every lie the Palestinians tell against Israel...... then when the facts prove the lies to be just that, they find another reason to blame Israel........ And people like you are too quick to assume that every bad thing to happen over there was instigated by Israel when there is little clear evidence to support such beliefs. Ö¿Ö
