| Dude, I am not sure how to respond to your post. It is implying many things, while not mentioning others. Such as the source of the link (AlJazzeera) for example.
There is no mention in the article of the political will behind the issue described in the article, much less one directly attributable to a specific administration.
I am not all that familiar with you, and I am not being judgemental in any way, but I can't help but wonder what exactly your agenda (bias?) is. Again, this is not judgemental. We all have an agenda to a certain degree... | |

I guess I'm just a little angry... I see these guys doing the same things saddam did and they are heralded as the good guys by what appears to be a steadily deteriorating social identity morphing into the same savagery that enabled the last world war.
at the same time I am fighting an ongoing battle with those who appear to be messing with the dns records at one of the dns servers between here and france, where the aj site is hosted. I keep trying to get some satisfaction from my isp but they frankly dont seem to be interested in solving the problem.
again, I defy anyone to demonstrate that the above story was dreamed up by the aljazeera staff, it is a legitimate and vitally relevant piece of information, and it is maddening to see that information being arbritrarily censored by what are no more than savages with some technical expertise. | |

| what the story states is that some soldiers took it into their own hands to fire upon a UN convoy, not that it was a deliberate policy declared by a legitimate gvt. That's what that story states. That's not what your link implies. That's what I was pointing out.
And I will tell you this much more: as a person who lived in the Middle East and still has many friends there, the longer Arafat is allowed to retain any type of authority, the longer many people will not be able to bring themselves to care about the cause of the Palestinian people. | |

the israeli military has repeatedly demonstrated a will to kill any person they wish, regardless of circumstance. are they a completey out of control mob? how long before any reasonable person concludes that there is most certainly govt support of their action?
how many times would saddam's troops have been allowed to fire upon U.N. representatives before it became a valid news story... furthermore, how many times would saddam have been allowed to shoot at the U.N. before all hell broke loose? | |

Separate incident, but I read in the BBC about the UN Convoy being fired upon. Bear in mind Israel doesn't care much for the UN.
Its a sad sad situation over there that probably will never be resolved. |
