I think placating these morons with bombs will get you nowhere. I think Bush went too far. Even suggesting a possibility of a Palestinian state at this point is ridiculous. The Palestinians have lost any good will from the West by aligning themselves with extremists. I hope Europe can wake up and come to there collective senses. The anti-Semitism has got to stop. Arafat should be put in a raft and sent adrift. He has no credibility. Let Israel exist, let Israel (a true democracy) defend herself. There is not a single shred of evidence of a historical Palestine. In my father's lifetime, Palestine was synonymous with Jewish Homeland. Not too may years ago the Palestinian Post was a Jewish newspaper... Why are we being snookered so easily? You want a Palestinian state? What the hell do you think Jordan is? 80% of its population is Palestinian. What we are seeing is nothing more than collective Arab hate of the Jews. They have and always will want to wipe them out. I can't say the Jews don't also have some of the same feelings towards the Arabs... There are probably many historical records of mistreatment by both sides. What America has to do is to stand up for democracy, truth and not to contribute to any blood shedding. That's what we need to insist from our leaders. But when it comes to fighting terrorism, I say the gloves are off. Take out Saddam, Khadaffi or any other moron that wants to take a shot at us. I think we should annex Iraq, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and any other country that has aligned itself with terror. It would be nice to pump some good ol' black oil on the cheap again. After all, it was American oil companies who researched, explored and opened these wells until they were stolen. Flames can be directed to dev@null...
