    It all depends on your point of view. Sometime the best way to beat somebody is to play them at their own game. America can just be a little heavy handed at times. Personally I quiet like the idea of terrorising the terrorist - not exactly the morally way to do things, but as long as the number of innocents hurt is kept low then I have no problem with it.

      well, both sides are wrong, but we've seen that talking to arafat is like talking to a wall. I don't beleive any more in the peace. He is declaring "no fire" but the bombers continue. I beleive those assfuckers bombers are getting their "moral" from arafat, that is - he is pushing them to do so, and they have nothing to lose anyway. I beleive that if we threaten them that their family's house will be bombed after a bomber commit suicide, than maybe some of those bombers will think twice before they do what they do. I dont tend to be smart then anybody, but obviously the talking way is not the solution. We are talking about deeply dipressed people who have nothing to lose anyway, and they beleive that when they bomb us they go to heaven with 70 virgins. so what can we do?! another possible thing to do is bury the bodies with a pig skin and then the terrorists "will go to hell" but its not practical cause we got religion and its against the law etc blah blah. (also we SHOULD NOT return the bodies to them!) - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

      A suicide bomber is the hardest kind of terrorist to deal with. Especially the lone bomber who can strike anywhere at anytime. A suicide bomber who believes in heaven is the hardest kind to deal with. If he thinks he will be rewarded for his act then it make it easier for him to be brain-washed. In the UK we were lucky that we never had to face that threat from the IRA. I don't envy the Israeli security forces job in trying to prevent these attacks. However I still think a softly, softly use of special forces/Mossad response is better than driving tanks into the heart of the problem. Michael :-)

        I don't watch CNN. I'm a Brit and watch the BBC which gives a much more balanced view. I'm well aware of what a bunch of nasty murdering bastards that some palestinians are. I've also seen the footage of the Israeli army in action, shooting at TV people who were trying to film. It isn't the best way to win friends. Here in Britain we had a major terrorism problem with the IRA for a long time so I know how hard it is to be self controlled when a minority is blowing the crap out of innocent people. Our goverment just had a more restrained way of dealing with the problem. At times our media appeared biased towards "the enemy", especially after the SAS killed those bastards in Gibraltor. At the moment, both sides are just too sure they are right and won't back down. Whilst that attitude prevails, both sides are going to lose. They only way forward is for both sides to back away and start talking. Sadly I don't see that happening. Michael :-)

Same here. Was just observing the implications of your definition of terrorist :) I am pretty fed up with all the hypocrites who moan at America when it harms one hair on a head, be it arch-villian or innocent, but then turn around and moan at America for not doing more to make the world a safer place. As they say, to make an omelette you have to break some eggs. Well for terrorism to be removed or at least abated, America and whoever else is going to have to break a lot of eggs. It is a neccessary price to pay and I don't shirk from the facts of it. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge

                Well, I'm from the middle east. I'll tell you what I think - we're in a shitty situation here! I'm not sure if there's any soulution to the palestinian-israeli conflict at all. And what really annoys is the way CNN shows us.. they only showing what we do, not what the terrorist do. We got a bad image, we seem like terrorist, while they are bombing us every day and bringing death to many innocent people. it's unbeleivable. If such thing would happen in USA, I don't know what would happen to them. You saw what happend after the WTC. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                      and btw, you're so damn wrong! you only see what CNN gives you! we aint no terrorists. Well what do you expect, after the palestinians bomb us 4 times a day we got to do something! I absoulutely don't beleive this shit. CNN makes US the terrorists , while we're so self-controlled comparing to what we get. As i told before - a thing like this would NEVER happen in the USA. we're just assholes that we dont take some serious measures against it. and fuck the cnn. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                      Tell me what military purpose is served by bombing hospitals and demolishing orchards ? Self defence against terrorism is one thing , ruining and humiliating an entire people is something completely different

                            So what you basically want to do is drive somebody with his back against the wall and then start thinking about how you can prevent him from harming you. Maybe it's time to give these people a perspective on life instead of goosestepping all over them ?

                              wtf?! if you like to know , one year ago i was the only one that said we can make a peace and talk to them. Every time i turn on the TV I see more bombs and more death and more tears and more pain. Why? because we don't do anything. John Smith wrote: This really surprise me, as Jews got the same treatment from the Nazi's That's right. I am supporting this opinion BUT John Smith wrote: Now you are doing the same to the Pallistians. WHAT EXACTLY are we doing to them!? nothing! after the lynch in ramalla about one year ago, which was a terrible thing what we did? we blow their radio station. so what? we warned them first so they can escape from there , so NO HURT will be made. what exactly we're doing to them ? i wanna know. [EDIT] INNOCENT PALESTIANS!? - we aint innocent either , but them!? YOU dont see the WHOLE picture. you see crap. you see us. you dont see them blowing us to pieces.

                                If they could just find a way to educate these people that there is no heaven - oh wait, the Israelis believe in heaven too. The key is communication and education, sadly there is no time for that in between exchanging weapons fire. Michael :-)

                                  well forget about the pigskin. I don't tend to say its the solution or anything. But its obvious that talking is not the solution. I don't know what to do and my government dont either - and that's the problem. its a tough situation , and I dont envy Sharon or anybody else.

                                          well forget about the pigskin. I don't tend to say its the solution or anything. But its obvious that talking is not the solution. I don't know what to do and my government dont either - and that's the problem. its a tough situation , and I dont envy Sharon or anybody else. It's easy to talk from outside. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                                          Isn't Sharon a War Criminal (1982) and wanted in Belgium ? He is in the same league as Hitler, saddam and Molosovik
