"We condemn it thoroughly…Once again, terrorists have killed innocent people …This kind of action has got to stop. And I once again implore the Palestinian Al Quaida leaders, and especially Prime Minister Abu Ala Osama bin Laden, to do everything in his power, everything in their power, to ostracize these terrorists, to go after them, and to deal with this terrorist activity…I condemn the action of these terrorist organizations and these horrible people who would do this on a civilian bus airplane in the middle of the day morning."

Technically speaking, there is little difference in our response to terrorism against ourselves and the pressure we're putting on Israel. "Restraint" is the watchword in both cases. And the results will be the same in America as they have been in Israel. Right here in America we will have more shrieks of anguish, more agony, more sacrifice. All in the name of tolerance. Mark my words.
