Yes, much of the Arab world seems to ascribe to a sense of 'fair' where 'what helps me is fair, what hurts me is unfair'. Blowing up schoolkids in Basra? that's terrorism (but it's still the Coalition's fault). But in Jerusalem? it's fair.

But what I want to know is how did they get so many people in Europe and America, chiefly on the left, to play along?

I say that Arabs seem helpless to combat their fanatics, and I'm accused of being as "intolerant" as they are - when their intolerance preaches open genocide!

Hi Neocon; Re: "For years, Palestinians have targeted civilians, including the deliberate targeting of schoolchildren, and, with the innovation of the suicide bombers, have improved their murderous efficiency."

The Palestinians are now so "murderously efficient" that they manage to kill 10 Israelis for every 30 of their own.

Uh, what kind of "efficiency" is that.
