It is a very sad and horrible thing.

I do not believe that it is in the best interest of Israelis to negotiate with terrorists. I also believe that the Media people do a great disservice in many ways when they cover these events with sensationalism and details which include all the gore.

Releasing hundreds of terrorists for the remains of a few victims, hardly seems like a pragmatic action by Government officials who are sworn to maintain the defense of the population.

Sometimes I find such decisions to be as irrational as the terror acts themselves. I guess that I do not have the temperment or wisdom to ever be a diplomat or a politician.

Saddly, I disagree on the gore. We skipped the gore here in America and most people have no clue what actually happened to their fellow citizens who's biggest crime in life was to go to work and to do so in the United States. If people saw the gore, they would have different view of Peaceful Islam.

I disagree with your opinion on "covering the gore". Usually, by the time the media reports, the scene has been "cleaned" thusly, we are spared of viewing the horror. That does more for the Palis. than the Israelis, IMO.
