We've got all the gung-ho-for-Israel types aboard for this one.

Actually, it's more like the 'Islamic rebels are barbarians' types, IMHO.

As I pointed out in an earlier post, somewhere in all those alternate universes, where the might-have-beens play with the ifs, is a world where the PLO reacted not as bloody barbarians, intent upon genocide, but as an oppressed people, suing for their liberation. Where the palestinian Ghandi/Martin Luther King, Jr., leads non violent protests to call attention to his people's plight. Where violence, when it does erupt, is a shameful thing, and peace is clearly in sight.

But that is make believe.

We live in the here and now, where a band of butchers, who by their very charter seek the death of a race of people, are lead by cowards who send befuddled youth on suicide missions to kill women and children. On purpose.

We live in the world where war is the natural state of man, and all the wailing and beating of one's breast will not wipe up a single drop of blood.

To deny your point would be to deny history but the future is ours to make. One can only hope.

In the meantime the wailing and breast beating continues for the hundreds of Israeli dead but not for the thousands of Palestinian dead (not to mention the million Iraqi dead).
