The Arabic Satellite TV station al-Jazeera shows footage of two Islamic Jihad leaders sitting at a table, speaking about the recent Israeli operation in Gaza against the terrorist infrastructure there, with the head of an Israeli soldier sitting in front of them on the table.

Sure, I understood that you were not in perfect agreement.

I was not defending us, per se, I was showing that each particular proposition in the "over the top rhetoric" was crap. Thus, for example, I pointed to signs contradicting a claim that we wanted to destroy Islam or impose Christianity. Got it?

Now, let me get this straight: if, say, I came upon a family that was being held hostage, I should leave them to their business because it would be wrong to interfere, they should be the one's to take their captors out? If they are too scared to die fighting their captors, they do not deserve to be helped? It would be arrogant of us to suppose that we knew it was best for others not to live without a gun to their head?

You are a funny guy.......
