| #7 The West urgently needs to address the issues raised by those who wear no uniform, who swear no allegiance to a state, and who wage war on civilians. The lack of political will to do this must eventually be construed as betrayal. Worst of all is how those civilians amongst whom these terrorists operate make no significant effort to discourage it. At some point, they must be made to pay a price for their complicity. By their silence, they abet the terrorists and their atrocities. Not enough of them are being punished for being accessories. This lack of reprisal only hastens the day when huge numbers of them will die for their perfidy. Better to give them a taste of the desolation to come than placidly await the final curtain. |

| #6 Those who have perpetrated these atrocities have rendered the Geneva Conventions an anachronism. The West urgently needs to address the issues raised by those who wear no uniform, who swear no allegiance to a state, and who wage war on civilians. The sound of crickets is not an acceptable response. |

| #5 The purpose of terrorism is to create victims. The goal is to murder and maim as many innocent people as possible. It is a political tool that has worldwide appeal, because it works. We have allowed it to work by not condemning and isolating those who use it. Nice sentiment, but to hell with "condemning". What about embargoes, boycotts, deportations and military retaliation? Those are far more effective tools. The MME (Muslim Middle East) must be made to feel our pain. |

| #3 It wouldn't be very well recieved. But then again, arabs never miss an oportunity to shoot themselves in the foot. I have no doubt that they could get us pissed off enought to totally obliterate them if they tried just a little. |

| #1 This is a good find Doc. These are Israelies, but one has to wonder when the first boomer will erupt here. This isn't gonna be pretty. Will make Virginia Tech look mild. |
