"You three have no credibility on this issue IF you think the proper response is to ignore it."

As I said in the subsequent post none of you said that directly and that's why I included the if. It's what your posts implied to me. You have yet to provide your alternative. And for the record just talking amounts to basically the same thing as ignoring the issue because talk has been used by terrorists and tyrants many times to divert attention while they roll on with their plans. Talk has released hostages and prisoners, but it has never prevented further terrorist actions unless there are reasonable misunderstandings at the basis of the conflict or the terrorists are looking for a way out as the IRA was when their support dried up. They don't look for a way out when they are winning.

Regards,
Mark
