RE: MID EAST :PEACE IS THE SOLUTION.

Not everyone in Israel support their hardline govt.policies.Even some of the troops felt that most of the so call anti terrorist ops were not justified. One soldier said that he do not know what is the purpose of their mission live on Israeli TV while they were conducting house to house search in Ramallah.Sharon ordered tanks to enter few more Palestinian town early today after declared that Arafat is the enemy/head of terrorist.Surely more bloods will be shed today,and the US is not doing enough.Some senior policies maker lashed out at the Bush adm.for being inactive towards the Mideast crisis,and these guys are American.Maybe,just maybe both Arafat/Sharon should be replaced in order to get the two side on the table again.Forget about Iraq,US wont be able to topple Saddam within this short period of time.If US have the guts to use N bomb against Iraq,Iran,China and even Russia,why shouldnt Iraq be allowed to own some crude N bomb. Settle Mideast crisis and there is no reason for anybody to attack the US.

RE: War againt poverty, not against terrorism

I agree.We need to fight poverty globally.Personally i think the west(rich ones)failed to play a major roles in this arena.No doubt that it wont guarantee total peace on earth, still it will ease up certain tension.If the US/EURO could spend trillions of $ on defence there is no reason at all not being able to help out a fellow men.I Mean really help them to get back on their feet again.Clear all the bad debt and provide tech and financial asst.Try to wins heart and minds of the people,cause it sure works here in Malaysia.We managed to forced the commies terrorist to lay down their weapons after almost 40 yrs of fighting.There is no point dropping food to the hungry peoples if at the same time you still bomb their land till kingdom come.All this shall breed a new face of terror to the oppressor.As for the Palestinians,they have the right to defend themselves.And of course a good offense is the best defense.They have no choice but to resort to suicide bombing. A few AK 47/RPG wont be able to defeat Merkava 3/F16.How would you feel if your very own homeland are under siege and most of the people you loved is either dead,in jail or missing?Try to put yourself in their shoes.At the moment talks wont do much good . Send in UN peacekeepers ASAP.The US should not veto. decision made by the UN against the Israeli.It not only for the Palestinians but also for the US interest.A stable Mideast means there is one less reasons for the so call muslims terrorist to act against the US.
