I am floored! I just knew that Reuters was gonna compare body counts to Palestinians
killed and try to paint the Israelis as the big bad guys.
By the above numbers, Suicide/Homicide Bombers have killed 83 and wounded 374 since
March 5th...........
By 10 "homicide" bombers
How can you get any kind of "deal" with a man who hasn't kept one promise he's made in 35 years?
Well, we should be able to shut off aid monies to Arafat now, the Saudi's just started a telethon for the Palistinians and have already raised a s#it load.
The solution is simplicity itself. Arafart, and the PLO, must be liquidated immediately. Okay, some Arab "leaders" will whine, whilst concealing smiles as they don't like him much, anyway. They'll get over it. In fact, once the main obstacle to peace(Arafart and his cronies, Hamas and Hezbollah) are gone, the Palestinians might be able to finally settle down and live in peace. After a few decades, they might even consider joining the legal, political process in Israel and try to get what they want at the ballot box instead of the pine box. Whatever.
After the disposal of the PLO, So-Dumb Hussein and his son must be removed and "lost", for keeps. Iraq must then be reconstituted under a republican form of government, with all the freedoms that entails.
I do not see as how we have a choice in this, if we want to win the war. Half-measures in war never work.
That's very bad for the Israelis. Obviously Palistineans have and will have a good supply of bombers. Israel is properly going after the leaders and bomb makers.
