As an American, I don't give a rat's butt if you can't tell the difference between terrorists and soldiers- at least the overwhelming majority of us can tell the difference. But I'm sure some soldiers are pretty tired of hearing an American so enthiusiasticly support a pack of suicide-bombing terrorists as you have done on this forum.
It is an affront to our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen who are truly fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom.
'Fraid not. All I hear from them regarding Israel's activities is "About time, take out those sonsaxxxxxxches."
Just yesterday my government voted in the U.N. Security Council to condemn this re-occupation by the Israelis.
Now THERE is an insult to US troops. How dare you bring up the UN and 'soldiers, sailors and airmen' in the same post?
Yet today you try to link the two very dissimilar military operations as if they were sanctioned by President Bush under the name Operation Enduring Freedom.
Killing terrorists is close enough... the goal of bin Laden was to unify the muslim world by starting a religious war. Stirring up crap in Israel through everybodies' pet terrorist Arafat was an essential element in bin Laden's plans. No matter what Istrael would do, Arafat was to continue elevating the level of violence in order to finally provoke a fight which can be exploited to curry more violence in other countries and more terrorism against the US. Now that we see Syria trying to involve itself, and know that Hussein and Iran are involved, it's no surprise that al-Qeada is there too. All of these groups depend on one another.
As the US has pointed out in no uncertain terms, those who support terrorists are terrorists and there is no doubt that the PA does support terrorists. When their 'police officers' make bombs in their homes that leaves little doubt. When their leaders call for mass murder and murding of civilians as a policy, that leaves little doubt. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to point out that there is no justification for suicide bombing and blowing up pizza joints and children's parties specifically selected because the civilians are not Arafat supporters. There is no ethical justification for mobs lynching fellow palestinians.
