>So do the Palestinians. What do you think, that they ENJOY blowing themselves up???< Exactly! Its been my observation over the years that people do what they want to do, and this is what the fundamentalists have been trained to want to do, to gain their ultimate happiness. Let's face it, its pretty hard to get people to blow themselves to bits if they don't want to.

RE: "Palestinian territories" I would prefer you use the term "disputed territories." These lands were captured by Jordan and Egypt in the 1948 war and captured by Israel in the 1967 war. They are part of the Palestine Mandate, which supports your use of "Palestinian", but so was Jordan and Israel. RE: "...what light you would like the Arab media to show the US support for Israel." The US serves to protect the Arab countries that have been in conflict with Israel since 1948. If the US were to completely withdraw, Saddam's and Saudi support for Palestinian terrorists and Iranian and Syrian support for Hezbollah might result in the "Israeli Oil Cartel." During the Cold War, US support for Israel was countered by USSR support for the Arabs. The USSR and the Arabs lost, but they have not needed to completely end their belligerency because the US protects them from Israel. Something about Saudi oil is a lot cheaper than Israeli oil would be.
