One thing to add, the attack on WTF was an attack on all of us, I would feel the same if it was carried out in Rome or Paris, Buenos Aeries or Moscow.
Thanks for the link, Tab. Moving indeed,

Tab,
Good point. The Arabs do appear against the wall. I'm just ready for a solution. For some reason Isreal's problems become our problems. I like things quiet, slow and easy. I also like our troops home and our cities intact, Isreal has a way of making things nutz for everyone who stands next to them.

Hello everyone,
Since it was my birthday that day, I didn’t feel like celebrating much, as my thoughts and prayers were with those families who didn’t have a chance to bury their loved ones properly. The WTC incident was a tragedy for mankind regardless of nationality, colour or creed.
Bin laden’s (I mean Bin Liner) insane and inflammatory rhetoric has also created so many obstacles and difficulties for those moderate ethnic minorities living in the West. Anyone remotely linked to the Middle East or a muslim country is under tight scrutiny.
Yasser Arafat has also failed his people by failing to clamp down on the militancy among the Palestinian movement. Presently, the Palestinian state of mind is one of frustration, desolation, and anger. They have no identity, no country, no life, no job, no future, they have been forgotten problem of the Middle East for many years. They just see their future as bleak. Militant groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad have no shortage of recruiting these frustrated youth. The more the Israeli Army brutally suppress the Palestinians, it will make the Palestinian militants more determined to carry out these suicide bombings. I have the feeling that if the West particularly USA (as they are Israel’s greatest ally) had showed an even-handed approach in solving the Palestinian issue there would not be so many problems piled up in the Middle East today. Also open statements made by the Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister indicating that they are considering an assassination option to get rid of Arafat does not help.
