| #6 I'm all for Israel defending itself and wiping Gaza off the map. |

| #5 I detect Reaganism: absolute pre-conditions before negotiating peace. And Reaganism ended the Soviet empire, and pushed Castro out of Latin America. Israel has been under intense US pressure to restrain an effective response to terrorism against civilians. The thinking is that if democracy works in the Middle East, then majorities will start liking Israel. Fred T doesn't buy that. As for his acting, Thompson has mostly been seen playing authority figures, even on Rosanne. However, he played a con-man on the "Wise Guy" series, and was great. |

| #3 No kidding he gets it and he knows that this written word is going to be there for the Tim Russerts of the world to refer to. That means that he is going to have to repeat it, say that he believes it and say that anyone who doesn't either has their head in the sand, is just plain dumb or is working for the other side. This is not mealy mouth. This is plain-spoken english that the common man is going to understand and appreciate. He is going to be able to reach that common man in a way that will go right around the media. Go Fred. Be the man, the leader, we so desperately need. |

| #2 The Palestinian strategy is to purposely target and kill Israeli civilians. Then, when Israel goes after those launching the attacks, Palestinians claim to be the victims. If Palestinian civilians arenÂ’t hurt in the Israeli attacks, they stage injuries and deaths. Too often, they garner sympathy and support from a gullible or anti-Semitic media in the international community. Israelis, themselves, are often incapable of facing the damage they inflict in self-defense. Knowing this, Islamic extremists are using their own populations as human shields. He gets it |
