Ted, > A bomb is a bomb whether its shot from a missile launcher or strapped to one's waist. .. As for Pat Robertson, I see little difference in calling for acts of violence and committing them yourself. How about all of those missiles launched at the order of Bill Clinton, Wesley Clark, or Jimmy Carter? Do you really think there is a comparison between what Clinton/Clark/Carter did and what the insurgents are doing in Iraq or the Israelis and the Palestinians are doing or what Bush is doing in Iraq? If you want to draw such an equivalence, then anyone who has called for an act of violence in any situation whatsoever is guilty of "terrorism." A bomb, a bullet, a knife, whatever. It's all murder, no? There are varying degrees.......its those degrees that determine whose violent and who isn't. Its the height of irony that its the most pious whether Christian or Muslim whom are quickest to get violent. Wrong again. Pope John Paul II spoke against the invasion of Iraq. Jimmy Carter has gone well beyond common sense to try and promote peace. And the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has become synonymous with non-violence. There are many, many Christians who are firm on their stance for peace. But those Christians also know the price of peace. It never comes for free. That's true. I misspoke.
