Rasmussen Opined:
<<Interresting exchange of views. Better understanding. Whatever a debate
usually produces.>>

Unless one is a lawyer or a journalist or a salesperson, debates generally
produce little else, but rhetoric.

<<The problems are similar. And the right way to fight terrorism is
probably the same.The european terrorist often worked together with the PLO.
That didn't make the European countries think we could solve the problem by
bombing
Palestinia.??>>

I don't recall 3000 Europeans perishing in one stroke of a attack by the Red
Brigades. My guess is that Europe just might have regarded at attack on the
arabs as plasusible, until they calmed down and decided that that they liked
the businesss opportunities, provided by Arab oil; easily worth the lives of
a few thoudand of their fellows. Then, Is suepct, they would have vented
their wrath on the Jews, who are a much safer target. That, then would have
resulted in other problems, and that's another story.
