. . to the Palastinian plight. That is over now. We don't give a fig what Israel does to Palastinians. We saw them dancing in the streets as thousands of innocent Americans died. Let 'em all rot in hell.

New That's unfair.
We saw the stupid ones.

The same sort of people who are in the US, talking about needing to kill all dem a-hrabs.

It was a horrible display. The PA is well and truely screwed now, their plan was to garner US sympathy, and get us to pressure Israel.

Forget it. Right now most Americans, having seen that, would be happy to donate money for flamethrowers.

Even knowing that it was the stupid kids, the idiots out there, it was a damn good thing I wasn't around with something belt-fed.

The PA had better see about an exit strategy. They ain't got their original one.

I wonder if something of this magnitude could get them to the table, to realistically talk (and ditto for the Israelis).

New Yes, it's unfair, I agree.
Unfortunately it's reality and they have to live with it. When the general population fails to control its radicals, it gets tarred with the same brush.

It will be very necessary to keep the radicals in this country under control. Killing all muslims is not the solution that'll work (I think my intern and my gardner are muslims - I do not intend to discharge them).

On the other hand, we have to make the problem serious enough that the muslims get their radicals under control. Unfortunately, that won't be easy because, officially or unofficially, violence is written into the religion to even a greater extent than with other Judaic religions (including most of Christianity).

New One can hope...
That that sort of thing MIGHT just MIGHT spur influential people - like Arafat - into pressing for a moderation, for a non-violent solution - because of the impression that things like that give.

I don't think it will.

But I can hope.
