'Jerusalem/Al-Bireh -- In the wake of the horrific suicide bombings in
Israel over the last 48 hours hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon made his address to the nation as he simultaneously increased, by
yet another step, Israel's part of the violence in the ensuing conflict
between Israelis and Palestinians. Sadly, no end is in sight and it is
likely to get worse, much worse. If this statement sounds like a broken
record, it's because it is. 

The suicide attacks, brought on by the deplorable Israeli policy of yet
another state sanctioned extra-judicial assassination of a Hamas member
last week, have brought Israelis and the Palestinians to the brink of
total war. Unfortunately, neither Israel nor the US Administration has
come to their senses to realize that, after 34 years of military Israeli
occupation, the burning question is not why was there was another
suicide bomb attack, but rather, why there are not more?' ......

I personally have great respect for Islam and the Prophet, and for any
believers. It is that all of our religions have their *period* of
insanity, the Jews, Christians, and many others go crazy and wreck havoc
all over the place. These people don't live what they preach, and
usually in the Arab-Moslem world, the *leaders* push their flock
forward, not like during their high times, when the leaders were really
in the front, which is the key for any victory, be it on the battle
field, or the spiritual battle field.
