Happy morning Sir Francis: -You misunderstood the sentence on "they don't give a damn". I was not reffering to the Pals, but to the Arab leaders using the Pals as kosher hamburgers as an attempt to construct their common Arab Nation among other goals of much lower value. On the grain of sand, that sacred square inch issue of Pal land never to be abandoned no matter the price etc, which I believe, is the foundation of your post. -If your point is to be valid, then the Jews should be allowed to their own sacred acres, the ones above their wall of lament, the ones that were the foundations of their ONLY sacred temple and the center of gravity of their common religious and political history. But this does ot seem to be an issue for you. Why ? Because of a couple of mosques built on Salomon's Temple ruins ? The Muslim world has thousands of sacred mosques. The Jews have had but one. One too many ? Not that it matters much to me, the sacred inches, but it is a question of intellectual honesty, for you. On my analogy of Washington burned down by Englishmen, but no American terrorists retaliating by burning down London on dry windy nights with torches. If not beforehand, just as to show their determination... -You simply answer that "sad methods were used by all", which is not correct, since you guys (I presume you are American) have not burned down London. Remember that one of your presidents used to play with lightning strikes in France, in those times, just for games. Couldn't he have sent a team of Patriots to play with flying kites above London on stormy nights? Not Minutemen, Firemen ! London aflame would have been seen as the just wrath of allah, sorry God. But you guys didn't do so ? Why ? Because of some moral values. Moral values the Palestinians lack. See, America still has "assets" to export. I expect America to do her duty. Again. Why ? Because that is the way men that really want to be free are. The opposite to Lenin's "The end justifies the means". And comparing terrorists: that is the difference between a Ben Gour Ion ordering the sinking of the Stern group ship loaded with weapons, and an Arafat doing just the opposite with Karine A or Hamas&co...
