Mack > > ------------------------------ Thanks mate. I wasn't offended because I could feel your original post was sincere and from your heart. Between you and I, you did say something right: "that I have psychological problems that transcend the issues". No one's perfect, but I'm aware of it! As John Van Tiel said, "truth" is relative. I share your feeling about coming to this list to find people above average. That's why I've taken the time to answer most posts. For a while I got a little disappointed but not anymore. COLIN, yes of course all children are innocent by nature. I respect you loathing violence. I'm only saying that it's a necessary evil when your survival is at stake. "Never again" is our motto since the Holocaust. Also, I believe Israelis have a higher moral standard than many other nations, and they don't ENJOY killing children and civilians. Of course there are pimps and crooks and murderers in Israel, just like in any other state. I'm not completely dreaming. If Israelis wanted to, it's pretty obvious they could inflict much more damage. Yes I know, "One is too many" as you said before. But what else can they do? Like Rabbi Harold Kushner said on CNN's Larry King last night: "we (meaning Americans) are all Israelis now. We know what it feels to deal with terrorist attacks, which have been going on for 53 years over there." Laurent
