I should stay out of this, but Fred, your starting to argue for arguments
sake...you state the following:

        "
> The fact that the Palestinians resort to unconventional means to
> battle, is not attributed to the fact that, unlike the Israelis, they
> do not have support of the most powerful nation on Earth. Instead, we
> just write them off as "terrorists" who "get what they deserve".
>
> If you recall our own revolution, the British red coats marched along
> in military formation while we resorted to ungentlemanly (terrorist)
> tactics such as ambush. We didn't  possess a trained military with
> comparable weaponry so were forced to adopt a strategy which seemed to
> have the best chance of success. That's what today's terrorists have
> been forced to do."

        Fred, make no mistake about it partner, walking into a restaurant
and blowing up innocent civilians is a lot more than 'unconventional
battle'...it's murder buster...in any language, at any time!

        And when our forefathers attacked the red-coats from the bushes,
they were attacking soldiers, not civilians.

        Of course, I have no doubt that you'll argue this to some degree of
BS too.....
