Don't read anything into my post. I am innocent on this one. All I have to go on is that when M Begin visited Ariel Sharon at his Negev ranch, Sharon was surprised how Begin liked the horses there. There was some connection to Begin's experience in Polish army that made him like horses.

Geez... not only are you "rationally challenged" as posted earlier... but you can't read either. Too bad.

I am sorry. Being besieged by the besieged I got a little paranoic. Yes, I think it is very likely that he was got some cavalry training. Cavalry was loved in Polish army and even now there are some ceremonial units. Cavalry was connected with great Polish victories like in the battle at Vienna (1683), in the war with Soviet Union 1919/1920 and others. There was also the Polish cavalry traditions involved in American Revolution and in formation of US army. (look at Casimir Pulaski The Father of American Cavalry The Nazis hated Polish traditions and succesfully ridiculed them by fabricating a myth of Poles on horses charging against German tanks.

I wasn't blaming Israel. I just expected them let loose a long time ago.
How much can they take?
You are right it is going to take an all out war until all these killers are put down for good.

[What Is Ain't]

Europe won't stop it. Their immersion in Social Democracy (nee socialism nee marxism) prevents them from viewing the world logically.

Or is this merely a modern day manifestation of their historical attitude toward Jews?

Why is Tom Brokaw in the Middle East do you think they know that there is going to be a war? either against Iraq by us or Israel against the Pallies.

[Zorobabel]

NBC evening news is now reporting at least 19 dead in the attack. I don't know how the Israelis put up with this.

To give a gentler explanation the sea can mean evacuation to Europe from which they came.
I suppose militants wanting to "turn the Meditteranian red from the Jews" is about food coloring?

2. Will you invite Germans back into Poland? Will you give them back East Prussia, including occupied Danzig, Stettin,... Will you then allow them to form movements to form an independent country in the occupied territories?

A Pole responded
I would not. But it looks that it is what Polish politicians try to do. They let Germans to buy out Poland at the preferential conditions (with the disadvantage to the Polish business).

Probably. "Good fences make good neighbours."

I wonder if there are any Islamic sects/groups that follow these "earlier interpretations," or for that matter, peaceful interpretations of the Koran. I've read that scholars, particularly Western scholars, are either despised or dismissed for their efforts at placing the Koran in a historical context, and that any Muslim scholar who makes the attempt risks ostracism, or worse.

Address that question to the Palis.
