Dr Bahaa Ghalayani, Palestinian However, Ghalayani said that "the events in this area (Middle East) are crazy. We have foreign troops everywhere. "What are they doing in Iraq? Why are they depriving natives from their most basic rights?" he asked

Basic Rights in Iraq under So-damned Insane

You have the right to be arrested at anytime for any reason
You have the right to rot in prison
You have the right to see your family tortured, raped, maimed, killed
You have the right to be tortured, raped, maimed, killed

Great minds think alike.

>>Ask the citizens of Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

That was almost 60 years ago.

Much has changed. Though I know your last statement is true, the real question is not can, but *will*.

We were willing to incinerate the Soviets less then 15 years ago, and believe me under the right circumstances we would have. During Desert Storm we let it be known that any WMD attack would be met with a nuclear responce, and we meant it. Those fools in the Middle East are teasing a dragon. There are more and more Americans who would not be concerned if a real demonstration of our anger were to occur. I think it will take one more major attack on a US city and the demand will be for the gloves to come off.

palis = it's all about them.

So I guess the best way to end all this mess is to destroy the Pali's.

Then there will be peace, right?

'Sanna Qandil, a Palestinian-Jordanian secretary working in Amman, said the Johnson's killing was not out of the ordinary taking into consideration the violence across the Arab world.
"Let Americans know what it feels like to be a Palestinian, to lose a mother, child or father," she said'

I don't equate terrorists kidnapping and beheading Americans and SKoreans in SA or Iraq on a par with Palis getting killed in targeted strikes against bomb factories or tunnel houses or bomb factories. "It's all about them" refers to them copping an excuse for disgraceful behaviors and suggesting that their situations are similar. They are not similar; the palis could end their strife rather quickly with some personnel changes and civilized compromise.
