Ya know how the Soviets did it? Much like the Mafia. A Russian was taken hostage in Lebanon in the early 1980's and the KGB found out who was responsible. They kidnapped his brother, castrated him, put the parts in his mouth and dumped him on his parents front porch. Needless to say the Russian hostage was released.
Doesn't this boil down to a hostage situation? Or is the hostage situation just a rationalization for the violence by Israel?
The hostage situation is the straw that broke the camel's back. Thousands of rockets lobbed into Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah during the last 6 years is yet another fact you conveniently forget.
Ahhh, so it is like those fights between a husband and wife, or parent and child, where they pull out all their baggage of the past years of relationship and beat each other over the head over it. So much for living in real and present time. Oh well, neither religion suggests forgiving and forgetting... I am not forgetting facts, I am watchinging how passive agressive people deal with them....
You cannot compare the British or the Irish with these radical terrorists. I agree that with civilized people compromise, negotiation and other positive acts can bring peace over time. Radical Islam is a special level of insanity that cannot be negotiated with. Of course I am only speaking of a small minority of the world's Muslims. These are total reprobates. The ony negotiation they will comply with is death - their death. This why they cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. They have to be liquidated. Peace treaties, appeasement and compromise will never work. They have been going at it for over 1,000 years. The only apparent way to peace is to eliminate one side or the other. I say do it now. There are over 50 wars going on on planet Earth right now and virtually ALL of them involve Islam on one side. Think about it.
Let me ask a question. Imagine if someone constantly said that you are insane, an animal, practicing a bizarre belief system. Would you be eager to work things out with that person?
Excellent point, hap. But you must remember... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1124110#post1124110 !!!! Do you not love the IF in that first sentence above?? As you can see, Z-GOD is not concerned that he is a disgusting hypocrite. He admits that he is. He doesn't post here because he wants us to take seriously his assertions or declarations. He feels no responsibility to show any internal consistency in the assertions he makes. He can contradict himself at will, and if you post to show a contradiction, he responds with a picture of a negro man with his mouth open. It is left to us to figure out how this illuminates his psychopathology.
