Sorry to bring the news of new murders.
Concentration camps are starting to sound pretty good about now. Time is long past for Arafat to assume room temperature.
May God comfort those who mourn and heal the injured...
"Terrorism did not start on September 11, 2001. It had been festering for many years.
And the world had created a response to it that allowed it to succeed. The attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics was in 1972. And the pattern had already begun.
The three surviving terrorists were arrested and within two months released by the German government.
Action like this became the rule, not the exception. Terrorists came to learn they could attack and often not face consequences.
In 1985, terrorists attacked the Achille Lauro and murdered an American citizen who was in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer.
They marked him for murder solely because he was Jewish.
Some of those terrorists were released and some of the remaining terrorists allowed to escape by the Italian government because of fear of reprisals.
So terrorists learned they could intimidate the world community and too often the response, particularly in Europe, was "accommodation, appeasement and compromise."
And worse the terrorists also learned that their cause would be taken more seriously, almost in direct proportion to the barbarity of the attack.
Terrorist acts became a ticket to the international bargaining table.
How else to explain Yasser Arafat winning the Nobel Peace Prize when he was supporting a terrorist plague in the Middle East that undermined any chance of peace?"
It will be interesting to see how Sharon reacts to this one. I hope they finally take out Arafat.

Maybe they can use some of those non-lethal weapons they've been developing.
It is time to destroy the jihadists wherever they are to be found. Send them to their "Allah".
14 dead I just heard..The reporter said" a bloody box of cookies on the street and book bag of a child "..I hate these terrorists.

Baruch Dayan Haemet.
I had gotten used to the quiet coming from Israel... what a rude awakening.
Sharon: We must respond forcefully to this terrorist attack! The Gaza withdrawal will be implemented immediately!
Idiot.

Sounds about right to me, too, FC.
I'm waiting to hear that a Cabinet Meeeting is being convened, as we both know what will be discussed.
