Perhaps the agenda of modern-day terrorists is not as clear as the agenda of the Independence fighters who fought for independence and control of their own countries... Or, worse yet, perhaps the AGENDA is pretty clear, but the coutries they are fighting for control of are not... It has always struck me as the ultimate in obnoxiousness to claim that fighting for democracy and the rule of law is somehow morally equivalent to deliberately attacking non-combatants in an attempt to impose totalitarian rule. |

I wasn't talking about morals. I was talking about reality and history. If
the Arab nations who sponsor these terrorists succeed in their plans, their own history books will write it off as the Great War for Islamic Independence during which their freedom fighters performed attack after attack until the Imperialist Oppressors were finally conquered. If we sit back and wait for it to happen, we will be written off in history as the once great, but now fallen American Imperialist Empire. "C J Campbell" wrote in : "Judah" wrote in message ...

In the eyes of Radical Islamists? Are you kidding?
Israel - it exists UK - it gave the land to Israel America - it supported Israel Spain - it supported America and the list goes on. Remember - the history books I am talking about were (or will have been) written in the new Arabic Empire... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in ink.net: "Judah" wrote in message ...

People like Golda Meyer, Begin were all terrorists(freedomfighters). Again, you're confusing terrorists with rebels. Rebels fight for territory. Terrorists kill indiscriminately. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Rebels fight for territory. Terrorists kill indiscriminately.
(oops, sorry about the prevous incomplete post) Terrorists don't kill indiscriminately. They employ a very effective tactic of killing and maiming the enemy. WE say they kill innocents, because it sounds good. But it is not true. Those who died (and those who survived) the attacks were guilty, most of them, of not supporting Islamic ideals in the eyes of the terrorists. Now, being guilty of that is not (in my eyes) a bad thing. But when one says "innocent" it is important to say "innocent of what?" and align the answer with the goals and ideals of the terrorists. Otherwise we are just saying, in different words, that it was our ox that was gored, and that doesn't really say much. The way to defeat terrorism is to have it not work any more. This means accepting the death and destruction without changing our policy. It means not being afraid. When you were younger and people taunted you didn't people tell you "ignore them and they'll go away"? Or if you were on the other side, if you found that your taunts were ineffective, did you eventually give up? That's the only way to "win" the war against terrorism. It involves accepting the losses they inflict, while not inflicting more losses on ourselves. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

The jews in 1948 were indiscriminate killers. But by your definition the Palestinians are rebels too and what they are doing is legitimate, fighting for their native soil. |

I believe the UN partitioned the land for separate Jewish and Arab states. The Arabs objected to the Jewish state and attacked it. They lost. |
