crist, someone has been listening to saddam too much. If the US wanted to get Iraqi oil, then why wouldnt they just have overtaken all those wells the last time the iraqi put their hands up after 100 hours of ground fighting? They aren't out to steal oil, or they also would have just overtaken Saudi when they had half a million troops there. > >Meanwhile Israel hies itself off to the good old US in search of yet > >another $12 billion in "aid", mostly weaponry, much of it no > >doubt to > >be used in terrorist acts against unarmed civilians, business as > >usual.

Terrorism is acts against civilians for the political cause. It isnt just defined as violence that 'happens' to be against what you personally would like to see. How about i come into your yard and start beating your dog, and when you try to stop me, i sue you for violence against me.. terrorist! If you will notice, there are no Isrealis blowing up cafeterias.. i wonder why not? lots of civilians there! Perhaps your compatriates will get more sympathy when instead of bombing discos, cafes etc, they tried bombing military targets etc. People seem to care less if you attack military targets instead of people picking their nose and reading a book. You may not like the 'aid'.. but given that they are the only democracy in the region, and people around them outnumber them 70-1..and continually pose threats.. they probably need some help. I wonder what the palestinians do with all the aid the US gives them. .. the most of any country.. including their rich buddies over there.
