Suicide bombing endorsed in kids book

The Ontario Library Association refused to drop from its recommended list a book that includes Palestinian children endorsing suicide bombing.
Palestinian and Israeli children speak about suicide bombings, anti-Semitism, guns and soldiers in “Three Wishes,” by Deborah Ellis.

“In our eyes, the book is perfectly good and we stand by our selection committee and the rights of children to read this book,” said Larry Moore, the association’s executive director. The Canadian Jewish Congress asked for the book to be removed from a list of recommending reading for 8-11 year-olds, saying it does not provide young readers with enough context.

“They speak about suicide bombing and killing Israelis as suitable choices to make and as acts worthy of emulating,” said Len Rudner, the CJC’s national director of community relations. A Palestinian girl discusses her sister, a suicide bomber, as a martyr in paradise and suggests she will follow in her footsteps.

A Palestinian boy says, “Killing an Israeli will make me feel glad. It will make me feel strong.”

Only one school board, the York District board just north of Toronto, has pulled the book from the list, while many others have declined to do so.

So the way you see it is even though both Kerry and Bush are Yale Skull and Bones members, it had to be Kerry who got the Taliban guy in Yale-even though it was Bush that was negotiating with the Taliban for Enron's pipeline?

You do know that one of Bush's first acts was to give the Taliban millions of dollars, I think 400 million--but I'd have to check to confirm that figure. Hey, I got an idea! Why don't you check on it.

So put your sleuth hat on--longnshort both ways (lol)--and, given the facts above, try and determine which of the two (Bush or Kerry) was more likely to assist the Taliban guy gain entrance into Yale. You might also wish to consider who was president at the time this gentleman gained entrance.

Good luck on your search--don't let prejudice get in the way, hey-hey!
