So now, any failure to support Israel seems to bring with it the label of anti-semite. Similar, I guess, to the labeling as traiter, anyone who failed to support any and all of the various measures (including that monster "patriot" act) of the administration, post 9/11.

That regrettable "shitty" comment may have been caused by simple anger and exasperation. I have been listening to this "shit" since I was born in the very early 50's. Frankly, the whole region is "shitty" filled with people who are very high-maintenance friends. I am sick of it.

I'm sure we can agree that we need this solved. You aparantly think that going in, finding, and killing all the terrorists will solve this. I disagree for a number of reasons; practicality, a primary one. I hope you don't think that my disagreement means that I hate Jews.

PS: the Europeans don't have a sterling track record when it comes to their treatment of the Arabs, either. I reccommend 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Wonderful book!
