    > It [911] brought out the current policies to light, didn't it?

    If you think 911 will ever lead the American people to demand their
    government have a more sympathetic policy toward Palestine then you must be
    smoking some very funny cigarettes.

    >There's documented proof all over the place of Israeli's human rights
    >violations

    Sure there is, big deal. The world is full of injustice and every people has
    had bad things happen to them and Palestinians are no exception, but if you
    want to explain the unprecedented volcanic rage consuming the entire Islamic
    world from Algeria to Indonesia you're going to have to come up with some
    unprecedented horror inflicted on all of Islam (not just the tiny percentage
    that is Palestinian) the likes of which no other people have ever
    experienced
    in the history of the world; and after that you need to explain why Jews
    don't crash airliners into German skyscrapers.

    > Islam is a brotherhood, and ALL muslims are troubled when
    > one of them is attacked.

    Brotherhood? Muslims have killed far more Muslims than the West could ever
    dream of doing.

    > So then let them democratically elect their brainless thugs than

    Let them? Islam has no history of democracy, it's not in their culture, even
    today Turkey is the only country that comes close, but if they want to turn
    democratic that's fine with me. However even if they have a vote and decide
    that all Americans should die I'm still not going down without a fight. You
    mention democracy a lot, you seem to think it will solve all the world's
    problems, it's kinda cute.

    >But ya did get your ass spanked in Vietnam

    True, but judging from what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq it doesn't look
    like that's going to happen again anytime soon. Muslims make lousy soldiers,
    especially Arabs.

    >you support Israel

    You have a simplistic black and white attitude, the Arabs are the good guys
    and Israel is the bad guy. I think they're both bad, the only difference is
    one crashes airliners into American skyscrapers and one does not.
