Hi Dennis O'Bell; Re: "They [American Indians] don't practice extremist Islam though, funny thing about that." The fact is that the American Indians were quite brutal enough without any benefit of modern organized religion. Humans are naturally brutal. -- Carl

Does anyone think that Israel may eventually employ these same tactics of bombings against Palestine? Straight ahead military force can be avoided by many, both the civilian and the militant. Sympathetic Palestinians may think their terror of the IDF is similar to Israelis terror at suicide bombings but I think they may be persuaded they are wrong. The pure randomness accentuates the already considerable terror. Remote controlled car bombs or other devices are easily within their expertise. I know they would cause moral concern in some sectors but like Bomber Harris in WWII few seemed to mind until they viewed the utter devastation. I'm sure the Nazis would have proceeded with fire bombing via buzz bombs etc. if they could have.
