The Palestineans are getting slowly bolder and more deadly, day by day. This would have been unheard of only one year ago.

[glock rocks]

ping.

so it's somehow okay for us to take the slime of the planet to task, and not Israel?

[Illbay]

"Its object is to halt Palestinian terror."

I wonder. It appears to me that the Israeli and Palestinian game-plan is exactly the same: Tit for Tat.

If so, that ain't no strategery.

The objective ought to be to take from your enemy any further capability to hit you any longer. And that has to be done without regard to body counts.

That's why I thought it was ludicrous when the Lefties in this nation began to whine about how "the U.S. bombing campaign in Afghanistan took far more lives than were lost on 9/11!"

That's irrelevant. We weren't out to "even the score" (which at best would be a cynical, macabre action). We act, rather, to make sure that our enemies soon lose the ability to attack us in such a cowardly fashion ever again, by destroying those who would make such attacks and giving an object lessons to those who'd consider doing it in the future.

The Lefties who make this argument fail to understand that had al-Qaeda never attack us in the first place, there'd be NO body count!

So it is with Israel. I hope they are going to do what MUST be done to protect their citizens, not to cater to world opinion, which will never be favorable to them anyway.

Thanks for the ping. That is one well trained sniper. Israel better start doing ....... and soon. They are up against the scum of the earth that is right now laughing and gloating at this bold attack.

[Jhoffa_]

Not fashionable these days, but the Isrealis should declare war and act accordingly.

No, no it's not fashionable, but what else can you do?

They won't meet you with their army and duke it out, they have few if any legitimate targets because they are a loose group of terrorists that blend in with the population.

It looks to me like you have to decide between dealing with these kinds of attacks and the associated attrition on a daily basis or just go in full bore in an effort to save your own innocent population.

I just don't see allot of alternatives besides Sharon's buffer zone and even that won't stop it. That's a band aid at best and the Jew's deserve a solution, enough is enough.

[ScholarWarrior]

Israel should not be inhibited by world opinion.
If Israel fails to act, they will suffer the consequences of failing to act.
If Israel acts, they will have to live with themselves in the morning

Beats the alternative.

Exactly..

``We must educate our children on the love of holy war for the sake of God and the love of fighting for the sake of God,''
- Sheik Mohammed Ibrahim al-Madhi said in a mosque sermon broadcast on state-controlled Palestinian TV last month.

Islamic Jihad is running a summer school - to teach boys the benefits of becoming suicide bombers.

[Cold Heat]

The usual bunch of Palistinian representatives and leaders feel that the west will not condon an Israeli military response of any great magnitude. They think that in the end, they will win, in the court of public opinion.

The worm is turning on them. It is near.

[ppaul]

BTW: If any of you anti-Israel so-called FReepers can find me similar "child terrorists and suicide bombers" being raised by the Israeli government, let me know, okay?

Chetnik?

Psa 102:1 [[A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.]] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
Psa 102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.
Psa 102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
Psa 102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
Psa 102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
Psa 102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
Psa 102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Psa 102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
Psa 102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
Psa 102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
Psa 102:11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
Psa 102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
Psa 102:13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
Psa 102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
Psa 102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Psa 102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
Psa 102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
Psa 102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
Psa 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
Psa 102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
Psa 102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
Psa 102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
Psa 102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
Psa 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
Psa 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
Psa 102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.
Psa 102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

"Either that, or this assasin was a pro..."

Even for a pro, I find this a stretch but, I guess it's possible.

[PhilDragoo]

We act, rather, to make sure that our enemies soon lose the ability to attack us in such a cowardly fashion ever again, by destroying those who would make such attacks and giving an object lesson to those who'd consider doing it in the future.

Yes, and the sooner it is acknowledged across the board that the U.S. and Israel have the right to pursue their own self-defense the better.

Enough of the "Fifth Column" Tom Daschles, the tch-tching Euro-fairies, the surpassingly insufferable Kofi Annan.

Patton's remark is apt, that war is not dying for your cause, but making the other fellow die for his.

Osama's Al Qaeda and their downstream and upstream, Yassir Arafat and every flavor of his craven gang, and Indian muslims setting fire to trainloads of Hindu women and children are begging to die.

Witness their current frenzy of killing, they deserve to get their wish.

[wcbtinman]

"Chetnik?"

Chetnik trained maybe? In any case, highly motivated.

[17th Miss Regt]

get both the Jews and the Hindus angry...

Don't forget the Christians! They are killing them in the Philippines and Indonesia and many other places. It seems kind of stupid to pick fights with all these opponents at once unless one really believes one can defeat them all at the same time.

[Michael2001]

I'm starting to agree with you more and more. Revenge is nice, but the real object is to destroy the terrorists capablities. If Sept.11 had never happened, we should still be out trying to root out Al-Qadea so they wouldn't create a Sept. 11. Same goes for Israel and their enemies.

This is the same reason I don't understand the liberals who say we shouldn't go after Saddam unless we have clear and convincing evidence that he was behind 9/11. More important is whether or not he intends to hit us sometime in the future.

[Cold Heat]

I take your post to mean that I should pray about this. I have and shall, but I fear we are past that now. I fear many will die and there will be innocents among them. Pehaps there is a chance that the Palistinians will come to their senses.

But I doubt it!
