Not only vowed, but actually tried for 58 years. What exactly would you say to them? > Have you seen pictures of suicide bombers and their victims in Israel? Was that a pretty sight? War is hell, Lenny, and tends to continue when people blame the wrong side. > Far better to tell the terrorists to stop trying to eliminate a whole country, Lenny.
