No, you said it right. Some people need to realize what is happeneing in the
world and think before they comment (not you John).

Hey, sorry if you take offense. The direct quotes from CNN, MSNBC and
others were "Palestinians are in the streets, dancing and shouting 'God is
good', in celebration over the attacks on the US today. Women are throwing
candy in the air, giving it to passerby. Men are leading children in
celebratory chants and dances."
I realize that not all Palestinians feel this way, and that a lot of it is
the perception of the US in relation to the Gaza strip and the perception
that we intercede on the behalf of the Israelis. I guess I should have
better said "Groups of Palestinians"?
