Sympathy for suicide bombers is a sign of Western moral failure

This line says it all. Our sense of morality has been chipped away at for too many years.

Their acts are not expressions of despair or hopelessness, “cries for help” as the West has come to understand suicide. Nor are they the noble stands of outnumbered warriors, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, or Samson in the Temple. They are the calculated acts of men and women whose ideology celebrates death in a fashion which almost defies Western comprehension. Indeed, these acts are designed to elicit compassion in the West for the killers, a sentiment which the bombers know undermines the West’s capacity to resist barbarism.

The author of this article has brilliantly analyzed the situation we find ourself in. It also describes that too many people in the West are not disturbed by the plight of Israel citizens. There are so many other good excerpts from this article, but I won't list them all. Read it
carefully for yourself. BUMP!

Americns support underdog, even rabid ones. The Palies are underdogs because they are poorer than Israelies anad don't have sa good a military. I wonder how many Roman citizens felt sorry for the Vandals and the Huns and their abject poverty. Israel- and the United States- are not facing a few ragtag Palestinians but a billion Arabs who want us all deador subjected.
