You know, I feel sorry for the normal folks stuck in the middle of this (on both sides). I'm sure the normal Israeli or Palestinian on the street prays every night for this crap to end, and yet, it just keeps going.
Suicide Bomber = Retaliation
Retaliation = Suicide Bomber
It has come to the point that the vast minority, and I suspect, some in power on both sides actually don't want this to end. How else can you explain suicide bombers and retaliations during peace negotiations?
It's all about power, pride, and 2 big babies not being able to play nicely in the same sandbox... throw in some religion to stir the masses and you've got a pig pile of steaming crap...
There is no way Arafat (even if he isn't behind this stuff) can reign in the radicals. How can Israel protect itself without making mistakes trying to find the radicals when the radicals hide in the public?
No matter how it started, its a vicious circle. And as long as a few people want it to continue, it will continue to kill and maim daily.
I say its time to let them just go at it...
Eventually, enough destruction, madness, and murder will take its toll and maybe they'll realize that a patch of sand or a set of buildings aren't worth the lives of hundreds, or even thousands...
A real God worth worshipping wouldn't condone the death of one innocent in an act of violence in his name.... Just my opinion...
