The very ingrained ideology of hate that permeates the whole Palestinian culture appears as something without hope of ever being resolved by some peace accord. This tiny Israeli nation has endured the wrath of its neighbors for over a half century. The restraint shown by Israel is nothing short of remarkable. During World War II a strategic bombing campaign destroying the entire city would have been a "no-brainer" to quell such persistent attacks. Such devastation is required to break the spirit of fanaticism by demonstrating that their resistance is futile as was the case with Japan during WWII.

p>As we've seen since Vietnam, a PC war is a costly protracted war, and Israel knows that if she waits too long her enemies will have the means to wreak tremendous death and destruction. And that time is coming soon. br> -- John Nelson br> Hebron, Connecticut /p> p> BEAUTIFUL OIL RIGS br> Re: Ben Lerner's Sirens in the Strait : /p>
