#1 First and foremost I would like to convey my sincere condolences to the families of the dead and wounded Americans. My heart is with you.

It's a shame they had to die while escorting a convoy going to hand out stipends to Palestinian students. Another classical case of biting the hand that feeds you.

I think it's high time for all Americans to understand that there would never be any solution to the Pali-Israely conflict before a complete and irrevocable uprooting of all terrorists and their supporters.

The Americans (especially State Dept.) should realize that untill a full practical,psychlogical and mental rejection of terrorist methods occurs on the Palestinians side, they remain a strategic long term enemy of Israel, America and the entire Western Civilization.

I advise merciless treatment of all palestinian individual terrorists, terror organisations and especially Arafat and his cronies (the old Tunis Faction)who have not given up their old dreams of destroying Israel. They are corrupt dead-enders who inflict a huge amount of suffering and misery on their own people while stashing away hoards of money in secret Swiss bank accounts - the same money earmarked to help their poor brothers.

While Bush cannot directly order Arafat's liquidation he should fully understand that as long as Arafat lives his people are doomed to misery, poverty and suffering. He must find a way of eliminating Arafat (You know, some subtle way, ask the CIA or the NSA) because we (The israelis) are too soft hearted to do this (what will the Eurocrats say if we did this ???).

By eliminating Arafat, a major symbol of World wide terror will be eliminated and he would not be able to oppose more reasonable groups in Pali politics which would then be able to pursue saner ways of ending the conflict (if such a thing is at all possible).

I really hope that Americans wake up soon and see this reality as it is.

Finally I truely hope no more American blood will be shed in this conflict.

#2 Amazing how fast they can round up the terror suspects when they have to, isn't it? Just fascinating. I'm sure the PLO is really going to crack down hard this time. Really. Serious. No fooling around this time.

#3 Some of the Euroweasels who have been apologizing for the Paleo terrorists are demanding action (or at least a pretense of action). Since much of the Paleo income comes from the Euroweasels, the more obvious terrorism is embarrassing to the latter.

#4 Does anyone think these guys were really involved?Seriously, what are the chances they're guilty and not just some stooges Arafat's throwing away?

#5 I'm sure the PLO is really going to crack down hard this time.

Without swift American retribution in some manner, the prospect of this happening is rather slim.

#6 good point Crawford - actually, the logistics point to the fact that the people stationed with their finger on the blaster key probably had been briefed by the Palestinian security forces about which cars would be first, second, third, etc. in the convoy.

#7 These guys had as much to do with the bombing as I did. They are a quasi-anti-Arafat fringe with low numbers and an EASY target. It reminds me of the end to Casablanca âRound up the usual suspects.â I suspect that they are âconfessingâ at this very moment (whilst the electrodes are connected to the do dads!) to all kinds of crimes. The sad part is that we are going to have to swallow what ever investigation they concoct/conduct.

#8 Oh, yeah, Inspector Reynaud is definitely on this case. "Quick! Find ~~three~~, or five or ~~sixteen~~ guys! You don't have to be picky. The Americans are pissed and need to be placated! Just make sure they aren't the actual guys. Might need them down the road..."
