In article .net, "LawsonE" wrote: "Chad Irby" wrote in message . com... Practical warmaking says that killing the leaders of an organization that wants to kill you is a smart move, since it makes them less effective and puts the enemy in the position of trying to fight you while being run by the less-talented second-raters. In the short run, that may be true, but it gets kinda old after the first few generations. Well, a 30% to 50% drop in terror ops and deaths on both sides in one *year* seems like a lot better trend than letting the real bad guys keep on living and talking the young idiots into doing stupid things. The medium-dumb ones already got the message. They're sending in 10 and 16 year old boys with bombs strapped to them now. With a corresponding lack of success (the kids aren't happy with it and don't really cooperate). *MAJOR* PR failure among their own people. Unless you're claiming that ONLY the current generation of Palestinians are going to demand reprisals. Like this has only been going on for a year? The people who are calling for "reprisals" are the guys who, whenever there's a chance for peace, send out the bomb-toting morons. Kill off the bosses, and you get less terrorism. We're in something like the fourth generation of idiots in Gaza... and when you kill off the mean smart ones who have been running things, the nice smart ones get a chance to come to the top over the mean dumb ones. And about the fourth generation of religious fanatics in Israel. Fanatic vs fanatic is a lose-lose proposition. Al minyard |

And on any given day, Bush is guaranteed to win, or Kerry is guaranteed to win, according to polls taken in this country. Polls don't mean much.

The biggest single killer in Iraq has been for several years the result of the UN sanctions. Ha! Saddam put his monies into palace construction,siphoned off "oil-for- food" money to give bribes to other countries for UN support,and ratholed millions of US dollars;he did *nothing* for "his people's" welfare. In fact,he seems to have made it worse for them. And you blame it on UN sanctions. True, Saddam could have played better with us and the sanctions wouldn't have been needed, but it will be several years before things improve to the point that the Iraqis are significantly better off materially than they were before the invasion. Gee,that's not what the Iraqis themselves have been saying,according to news reports. And, in the meantime, we have the potential for even worse things happening in Iraq than anything that Saddam and his kids ever managed to do. Yes,the potential for Al-queda to take over and bring forth another "Taliban" government.And to use Iraq as a base for more terrorism. -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net |

So what? I f a guy in a wheelchair orders a bomb planted, isn't he as guilty
if he did it himself while doing the 100 meter dash? I mean if a guy in a wheelchair could use his arms, and wheeled himself in a crowded room, pulled out a submachine gun and hosed some people, isn't he still a killer? |
