& yr info is not accurate,,,u know y ? because you watch the American media controlled by Jews,,showing only what happens to jews & completely ignoring the other side of the story.
Personally i'm against suicide boomers, But do u expect the palestinians to do nothing while Sharon has turned their cities & towns n2 chaos?</strong><hr></blockquote>

This terrorism is no different than the terrorism that brought the WTC down. I'm sure that the Palestinians have grievances against the Israelis, and that Osama bin Ladin has grievances
against the US. I have no doubt that others in the world regard these grievances as legitimate. But does that give bin Laden or the palestinian terrorists the right to kill hundreds or even thousands to make their point? No, it does not.

Please, don't give me that tired old chestnut about the American media being run by the Jews. Even the hillbillies here stopped saying that about twenty years ago. Do you really belive that in the US, with all of our liberals, that only one side of a story gets out?

BTW, historically revolutionary groups have always been out-gunned. But that hasn't stopped them. The traditional tactics have been hit and run guerilla tactics. I would think that a valiant fight along those lines might do more for their cause, instead of blowing up women and children on busses and in shops. But of course Arafat has thought of that and decided on the latter. Probably because the true purpose is simply to kill who you hate.

And it's very possible that it's not even about the land. It's about expelling any Western influence and values from the region. That's because the maniac mullahs of iran, iraq and Saudi Arabia regard even slight contact with the West as a desecration. So the holy men of Saudi Arabia preach jihad; "moderate" Iran supplies the weapons; and Saddam pays the families of the fanatics who blow themselves up in service of a perverse, medieval doctrine.

And why should the US care? Bush appealed to everyone to crack down on terrorists like the Israelis are doing, so his stance is a little confusing. Basically, the Arab nations told Bush that they would oppose any action against Iraq until there is some sort of cease fire between israel and the Palestinians.

Also, Israel is the target du jour. Then it's the USA. Recently, the United Intifada Command, with links to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Yasser Arafat's Fateh, issued a call for "the Palestinian and Arab masses" to strike at American interests throughout the world. I would guess that Europe would be after us.
