Guess the moslems are not getting Prez. Bush and C powell's messages about how great islam is. Do you suppose those messages are directed at folks in the west? Just so we don't start thinking bad things about muslims? :-) PA legislator threatens US with suicide bombings By Itamar Marcus November 26, 2002 A PA legislator, Nahed Munir Alrayis, in his regular column in the official PA daily, threatens that US policy toward the Arab world will leave the Arab and Islamic world so hopeless that they will have no choice but to resort to “suicide attacks against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.” He accuses US President Bush, in his policy, of "attempting to isolate them [the Arab and Moslem World] so that they will have no hope of an ally in integrity and justice, to incite others against them so much that they will lose their trust in what is called ‘world public opinion’ and ‘human rights’ and to close off all the political and diplomatic avenues which nurture hope, then they will have nothing left, in this position, except suicide missions [lit: Death for Allah missions, Arabic -“Istishhad”] against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.” [PA official daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, November 25, 2002] pmw.org.il

I am surprised by the relative paucity of comments about the rocket attack against the Israeli airplane. Thanksgiving my friend... Thanksgiving... Football and Good Eats Galore!! And I was waiting for more information about what type of rockets were used, SA-7(+), or an attempt to use an RPG-7 anti-tank rocket (as in Somalia).. Those passengers were extremely lucky!! Possibly to the point of divine intervention... :0) They fired two SA-7 heat-seeking missiles at a point when the jet was emitting maximum heat output during takeoff... Yet they missed... Don't count on that continuing to be the case in the future... There will be more attempts like this... Hawk
