#3 What is it with these people that they can't separate fact from rhetoric. Prior to the recent Israeli port bombing there hadn't a suicide bomber who made it out of Gaza for 2 years. Its the fence stupid! The effect so far of increased terrorism (dire revenge) towards Israel is more dead paleos.

Israel offered everything they want over 3 years ago and it was rejected in wave of suicide bombings. The world has changed (a lot) over the last 3 years) and now these idiots want to roll back the clock. Sorry too late!

#4 Many Palestinians were already convinced of this because of the assassination by Israel of Ismail Abu Shanab, a moderate Hamas leader, last August. Shanab openly accepted a two-state solution. If Israel had wanted to listen to the language of peace, strengthen the moderate camp in Hamas and save the blood of two peoples, it would have kept Abu Shanab alive. It did not.

If you hang with terrorists, you are a terrorist. There's no way to distinguish whether someone is a disinterested party, as if that could even exist. Anybody of intelligence recognizes that joining Hamas often results in heavy exposure to high concentrations of lead, it's an occupational hazard that comes with the territory.

But it is important to keep in mind that the occupation causes the suicide bombings, not the other way around.

What is this ration of horsesh!t? "Occupation" does not cause people to abandon all trace of civilized behavior and go around indiscriminately slaughtering innocent women and children. It's a complete void of any compassion or religious tolerance that is the source.

"Suicide bomber" is a complete misnomer, such people are mass murderers and nothing else. That they die achieving their nefarious ends is only of significance in how it limns a culture willing to sacrifice the flower of their youth for the paltry task of completing a single mission.

Any general who made a habit of consistently wasting soldiers in such a way would face immediate mutiny. Instead, this horrific and ignominious squandering of life is glorified and thrust upon this world as some pretense of a strategy. The Arab people will long carry a deep and abiding cultural stigma for engendering this travesty of life. The eleventh of September atrocity alone has earned them an onus on par with that of WWII Germany and with good reason.

Arab culture will carry a well deserved collective burden of guilt for many years to come. So many Arabs vigorously embrace the demonic terrorist mindset with such cheerful abandon that they have rightfully become alien to all civilized people. Should a renouncement of terrorism finally be made, any such retraction must be greeted with a skepticism so healthy that it survives for several decades.

The grim spectacle of sending children to do a man's work while dying a needless and horrifically murderous death will not fade from the world's memory any time soon.

#5 *** Dumpster ***

What's with posting on all these old stories?

You gonna go back in time and create some pointless legacy that maybe ONE or TWO people will ever read?

This post of yours is MUCH more interesting:

"Jen, only when and if he is ever properly elected will I then be grudgingly obliged to address him as you wish I would. His intentional blurring of the separation between church and state while simultaneously attempting to constitutionalize discrimination gets nothing but scorn from me.

Thank goodness we live in a country where we can disagree on this matter. Please know that you indeed have the privilege to dislike me for what I say, that is entirely your right. Understand one thing though, I don't do this to intentionally anger or offend you or anybody else.

As a proud American I cannot abide the White House's ham-fisted tampering with both the duties of executive office or our beloved constitution. Whatever proper intransigence might be shown for terrorism (as is demanded of all worthy commander in chiefs) still in no way confers any right to enshrine religious commandment as constitutional law, especially not in a nation wholly founded upon secular ideals. This is what he's attempting and my own ethicality demands that I consider it to be nothing less than malfeasance of office. Hence my scorn."

Oh, Dumpster, you're a treasure.

What a load of juicy bullshit.

He IS the duly elected President of the United States, fucktard. Proof that all else you may say is at the very least suspect, if not outright total fucking bullshit.
You're full of shit.

Your notion that he is "constitutionalizing discrimination" is truly insane. Proof?
You're full of shit.

You provide no proof of any "ham-fisted" actions - or anything even remotely associated.
You're full of shit.

As an atheist, I know he has not done anything that hasn't been done before for the last 30 years to "enshrine religious commandment as constitutional law". I most certainly would've noticed.
You're full of shit.

The phrase "my own ethicality demands that I consider it to be nothing less than malfeasance of office" is so utterly asinine and disingenuous as to be breathtaking. You couldn't prove any aspect of that charge if your worthless life depended upon it.
You're full of shit.

It is clear that you're one thoroughly conflicted and fucked up induhvidual - and given your comments, so anti-Bush that you'd remove him from office if you could. You obviously think President Gore is being denied his constitutional rights. You're fucking insane. It is not unreasonable to presume you will vote against Bush, therefore, so you are in league with the enemy - there is no sane RBer who could possibly
believe Skeery would be worth warm spit in the Wot - your pathetic little aside about Commanders in Chief notwithstanding.
You are unbelievably amazingly self-defeatingly massively full of shit.

You're a troll.
