#1 We were putting all our efforts into the peace process. It aborted all the peace process efforts.

No Yassin himself aborted the peace process when he ordered the murder of innocent civilians on that bus in Israel.

Where the hell is all the condemnation of Hamas and the PA after they deliberately target and murder civilians? Where the hell was Kofi then? This makes me sick to see these slimeballs (except for Straw) say this crap about a murderer and not a peep about his victims.....

#2 You gotta hand it to Fischer... He elaborately said nothing (and didn't condemn the act btw).

#3 It is absolutely ridiculous to allege that the man who cannot see, cannot hear and who is on a wheelchair can constitute a threat . . .
I'm not up on my Yassin history. Was he crippled before or after he founded Hamas? And in any case, Hamas is a threat - and it's his organization. That makes him a threat, unless you want us to believe that a blind, deaf, crippled man was also unable to be a leader and *inspiration*.

What happened was more brutal than anyone can imagine and it doesnât make sense.
No, suicide bombings are more brutal than anyone can imagine, and they don't make sense. Blasting Yassin to hell makes perfect sense.

We condemn this aggression because he is one of the political symbols in Gaza.
Not anymore. I think that was rather the point.

We were putting all our efforts into the peace process.
Wait, Egypt was putting efforts into the peace process?

I do worry that the retaliation against Israel will be quite terrible, although I can't help but wonder whether this could also instigate some sort of power struggle within Hamas given the sudden vacuum at the top. Does anyone think that maybe Fatah, which has been at odds with Hamas for power for years, will try and make a move after this?

#6 it is important to mobilize for the relaunch of the peace process

I see nothing there that involves any concrete moves to end terrorist attacks on Israel. All I see is a call for more jaw-jaw.

#7 de Villepin is the world's most disingenuous liar. His every utterance is not only more transparent than vaccuum, it even manages to "suck" more, as well.

All of the efforts, Camp David visits, Rose Garden pronouncements, Oslo etc diddle-fucks, Road Maps to Hell, the whole fucking zoo - all of them are DEAD. Accurately, the Paleos - and this actually means their chosen leader Pres-General-Embezzler-For-Life Arafat - are characterized as never having failed to miss an opportunity. And they have had one hell of s string of opportunities - all squandered, all wasted, all goodwill flushed, all hope -- gone.

All the chances in the world, and all intentionally wasted by the Paleos / Arafat.

If the wall fails to contain them, then there will be a helluvalot more of this moaning and groaning...

Intefada my ass. This is war. Kill everyone last swinging Paleo dick (or cunt) who spouts hate, carries a weapon, or provides support for these terrorists. I think we should dedicate at least one Maverick production line to Israel. I'm thinking cluster-bombs and fleschette rounds look pretty useful, too. It's over. It's time. Bottle 'em up so they have to take their murderous rage out on each other --- or kill 'em.
