"If the Palestinians want to win they need to read a little about India and Ghandi."
You guys and Sharon have to read a little about Ghandi as well

For the long term safety of the US there should not be a Palistinian State developed. It will merely be a permenant Terror Base supported by American Haters of the World. And as soon as it is developed, it will be taken over by Egypt and or the Saudis and or Jordan and or Syria. They dont want those crazies next to them, independant, and fully supported either. It will be Palistine in name only.

Incidently, Israel is just the first tidbit for Islam. There are a Billion Islamic people without arrable land, running out of Oil to blackmail us with, and they will gaze longingly at America next. Depite all the PR Training and made for America appearances on CNN, these people hate us just for being the Infidels were are. Too bad the our Government blacked out the dancing in the streets of Muslims everywhere on 9/11 including Detroit. Hope someone got that video and will not be afraid to put it out.

yea, right, texasman, that's why Vietnam is today entirely controlled by the communists...
Vietnam is a good example of how violence of a well-armed army against whole populations can not succeed, how poorly armed they may be.
The main reason why Arabs are against the US is because they support Israel. And many Americans, as well as Europeans know that and even many Jews as well (for example Noam Chomsky).
The US is the only one who can pressure hard-line Israel into real concessions, giving up all territory conquered after 1967 (oficially to US thinks so too but untill now they did nothing to enforce it) and allowing back refugees. US-troops can after that stay at the borders of Israel to protect the security of Israel if that would be necessary (i don't think so) and should also be represented in palestinian state. i think Arafat will agree with US-troops. However i appreciate that they didn't move their embassy to Yerusalem, which would recognise that Eastern Yerusalem is a part of Israel. I think if you go ahead with your "military solution" the US will finally be fed up with Israel and stop all support for it.
By the way, no single palestinian contributed to the 11th september attacks and Arafat was one of the first to show indignation and offer blood for the victims.

I recommend the US quit giving aid to Israel. Then we (the US) go in to the Gaza and throw out ALL the Israeli squatters who have decided to settle on Arab land and send them back to areas that they were meant to build on. The way I, (and most non-Jewish Americans) see it, Israel is treating the Arabs like animals. I'm sick of Israel stealing land, taking paople's personal freedoms, and then expecting the world to back them. They are creating a scenario that is volatile for the entire world.

Israel is acting like a spoiled, greedy pig.

you are scaring me aid . If Israel decides to bomb France, france will not wait one second to launch its nuclear bombs and make Israel something of the past.

did Zinni say that? Are you a friend of him? I didn't hear anything he said like that in public.
There is no division of labour, as you said yourself somewhere on this board, Arabs fight eachother as well, and Arafat and the PA have absolutely nothing to do with al-quaida, i think not even hamas has links with Al-Quaida (but maybe some sympathy, as the most frustrated palestinians who lost their family or house, as well, i guess if a Palestinian shot your daughter you would as well smile when Sharon orders another terrorist attack on a Palestinian city, but in fact such human feelings are despisable whatever the "ennemy" did to you, on both sides). in fact 11th september was bad for the Palestinians, as they were identified with the attackers and lost some international sympathy.
