I don't recall calling anyone here a dummy - not by name anyway. But if the label fits you are welcome to it. But what I said is I know dumb Jews. I may have said I know a lot of dumb Jews. And that is a fact. It comes from being in organizations with them and trying to educate them and they still don't get it. ... Eye of the beholder, my ass. You must be very young. Bush is wrong and he is likely following a plan which seems perfectly right to him and about half of the people in this country. Ethics after all is something we invent. It is a cultural adaptation and motivation for doing unto others is so they won't do unto you and doing for ourselves that which is necessary to insure survival and a certain level of contentment. It is a philosophical argument, but religion is not even marginally sane; however it is understandable given our level of dis-enlightenment - our disregard for our biosphere and for the feelings of others not just in our species but all of them. Those who see Sharon as a terrorist are also wrong. He is/was a warrior and probably next to Dayan the greatest Israel has ever had. For that he was hated. As for bombs, don't say that too loud. Homeland Security might be listening.
