The Uk gave the land to Israel following a war with Jewish terrorists.
People like Golda Meyer, Begin were all terrorists(freedomfighters).


Again, you're confusing terrorists with rebels.

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.

We do as much to "terrorize" ourselves as they do. I agree with Jose. We
constantly dwell on it, we are riveted to Fox News which exploits it for
ratings, we hold candlelight vigils for "victim's families", and politicians
yap about "keeping us safe" like they can do anything about it.

I simply refuse to be terrorized. If we all did that, we could just declare
the war over.

Yeah, only 98% of us just go about out days in peace...

We're in a freaking war, man. Do we need another, more severe kick in the
ass to get that through some peoples heads?

we are riveted to Fox News which exploits it for
ratings,


And CNN (and Peter Arnett), CNBC, ABC ABC, NY Times, LA Times,... don't
exploit it for THEIR ratings? Your credibility just took a nosedive.

What this has to do with my statement escapes, me. I think everyone is aware
of it without the need for incessant harping on it.

Because I didn't reel off the names of ALL the media? Fox is just the one that
came to mind as most representative. I agree that they are all obscessed by
it. In a way, you make my point.

Agree 100%. We must stay the course, fight the good fight, and not flinch.

Unfortunately, the Spanish just showed that terror will influence elections,
policies, treaties, and troop deployments.

A very, very bad precedent. I fear the world will pay a terrible price for
Spain's actions.

Alternatively the world will pay a terrible price for the US's actions.
