the PA’s need to combat terrorism

When will they realize the PA is a terrorist entity? I guess as long as we send it money it is legit.

Now you Israelis, you behave, and you just make sure no innocents are close to your targets. Take a lesson from the U.S. as they went into Iraq. You can bet they didn't kill or injure one civilian because they have every thing down to a science.

Why should Israel listen to any nation whose Supreme Court won't stand up for Boy Scouts being free from homosexual leadership?

Why should Israel listen to any nation which does it's best to place it's own citizens on unemployment?

Why should Israel listen to any nation that can't even call Yasser Arafat a terrorist, and help remove him from power?

Why should Israel listen to any nation which has alrady surrendered it's territory to foreign nationals?

I could go on...

Yeah Israel, listen to us. LMRO... Listen to us if you plan on losing your nation as we're losing ours.

The US has not yet learned that those who target Israel are going to target the US soon with the exact means. The US always tries to differentiate between IDF counter-terror actions and US Army counter terror actions, which are the same in many instances (for example, both demolish homes of terrorists). In addition, they try to differentiate between a suicide terror attack in Israel to a suicide terror attack in Iraq.

The US can keep doing that and add its voice to the chorus of most of the world backing Israel into a corner. But in the end, when it does reach here, not only is the US going to be unprepared (due to the fact political correctness prevents it from really defending the borders, and the fact the population is illinformed by the government about what to do to prevent terror and act during it), not only will it use MUCH greater force against the terrorists afterwards, but it will be sorry it did not support going after the perpetrators in the first place (and in addition to supporting going after the militant Islamic ideology, which the US refuses to publicly declare as a target, due to political correctness).

Could it be that it doesn't want a remake of the 1970s oil crisis which hurt the US economy? Maybe. But the US needs to look at it in both short and long terms. In the short term, sure oil prices will go up, but in the long term a greater threat will be removed, a threat no longer making money off our purchasing of oil that occurs today.

You've probably heard this a million times, "Today the Saturday People, Tommorow the Sunday People"

And even in Afghanistan. Remmeber the accidental bombing of an Afghan wedding? Innocents surround terrorists and the US should not be preaching to Israel about it.

Exactly. I don't expect much from the State Department, no matter what Administration is in office.

are going to target the US soon -- I'd quibble with that, the Arabs who carried out 9/11 were terrorists.

Those terrorists are not seen in the same group of Arab terrorists targetting Israel needing justice by the US. It will take an attack by an Arab group targetting Israel, probably on the mainland of the US, due to the fact these groups have murdered Americans in Israel like at the Hebrew University or the Gaza convoy bombing, and the US stood by doing nothing to bring those responsible to justice.

I wholeheartedly agree.
