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...........

"suicide" bombings occur in an empty field. "homicide" bombings are done in populated areas.

I noticed that the last couple of days, FOX News Channel has started to call them "homicide" bombings.
Someone must have sent them a "heads up" notice.....

As one would expect, Reuters didn't get the memo. Of course, Reuters also refused to call the Terrorists
"terrorists" except when quoting someone else. We know which side Reuters is on, don't we President Bush???

I guess Europeans would consider this kind of loss of life acceptable if it happened in their nations.

I cannot figure out how it is Bush's fault that Arafat either refuses or cannot control the bombers.

How can you get any kind of "deal" with a man who hasn't kept one promise he's made in 35 years?

Someone just used the the term "genocidal-bomber".
I think that may be more accurate than "homicidal-bomber".
It is certainly more accurate than "suicidal-bomber".

Would you prefer that Bush go in there and slash and burn to the ground? Scorched earth policy, is that your policy? And that will help how?

Because Bush and Powell keep telling us that Arafat is a "peace partner" and still haven't shut off his Aid money yet.

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.

Only a theory but this smells like its being orchestrated by Hussain and Bin Laden rather than Yassar Arafat. Arafat is the fall guy, a diversion.

If they would also include those who were caught before detonation, I think you'd see a one-bomb-a-day pattern.

I believe you are right. Both of those goblins benefit from our preoccupation with Arafart. Hussein openly finances the Not-So-Smart bombers. He knows that as long as this conflict drags on, the other Arab states will not even think about him. And bin Laden finds himself off the front pages, at least, and finds more supporters.

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.

There is obviously an incomplete article. Where is the list of Israeli genocide bombers?

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.
