"The Liberty was a mistake, an innocent but tragic mistake. Only an anti-semite would refuse to acknowledge that fact.

I have written many letters to members of congress, in both the House and Senate since 1967 asking for answers on this attack on an American ship and my interest has nothing to do with your characterization of those who raise this issue as "anti-semite."

Do you really believe that a continuous assault that took place over two hours was an "innocent, but tragic mistake?"

I do not know what happened that day and there has been a conspicuous absence of any disussion in the media, either broadcast or written or from any branch of government. Perhaps you have some insight into what happened and would factually share that information with this forum.

I believe that would be more informative than following the often used practice of "branding" everyone who raises a subject that causes you some discomfort! I anxiously await you factual information (with references).

Do you really believe that a continuous assault that took place over two hours was an "innocent, but tragic mistake?" How to put this delictely: Yes, I do believe it was a mistake. But, just say, it wasn't. Why?

Because the U.S.had betrayed the Jews before by not bombing the camps and turning away Jewish refugees and allowing millions to die.

It won't happen again. Could you imagine the U.S. turning away jews today? Even the people who, like you, want to reopen old wounds wouldn't dare. If you can get over your ridiculous self pity over an incident that happened so long ago, try thinking about the here and now. Israel is fighting for its life and there's nothing you or the anti-semites can do to dissolve the union between the two countries.

Soon, mark my words, U.S. and Israeli troops will be rolling side by side toward Baghdad and Damascus. The U.S. has no choice but to side with its only true friend -- a friend that knows the local terrain and where to call down the air strikes. Instead of trying to bring up the Liberty, be glad you have a partner that knows which enemies to hit when. Honesty is the essence of friendship and Sharon is being honest.
