To understand this problem, look at the history. (archive)

We now all have heard Bush talk of bringing to justice all those responsible - even those harboring, feeding, housing will all pay a price for what happened. I am sure we all agree. I too would love to see those pay severly for their actions, I'll save my proposal for another discussion. But I ask - what will be done to stop something of this nature in the future?

After WWII, Palestine was split, by the UN - led by the US, and Isreal was formed. People who once lived peacefully were told sorry, time to move, pack you bags. So, over the last 50 or so years there has been "terrorist" attacks against Israel. These are not terrorist attacks - it is a WAR and the "terrorists" are soldiers of a country taken away by the UN. The media, which is predominently run by people of Jewish decent (if you don't believe me look it up), control what we read and see on tv, newspapers, and every type of media outlet. I have several Muslim friends. If you are a true Muslim, then peace is what is preached not violence - again the attackers are all soldiers.

Now getting back to what our President has said over and over - the harboring of these attackers. If you were from Palestine and were fighting everyday to get your land and country back from Isreal and they were being supported by the US (harborers) with millions ($250/year) of dollars, weapons, helicopters, intelligence...how is what was done any different than what our President proposes to do? They attacked the money killing their people and the military supplying the weapons!

This problem will never go away unless there is a peaceful settlement in the middle east, and this does not mean wiping out the Palestinians!
