If the Palestinians had a voice, maybe they wouldn't need terrorists. The Palestinians have a voice and certainly don't need terrorism. Terrorism has been disastrous for the Palestinian people. The terrorists know that, in the real world, no government can accept terrorism and will strike back, usually with more damage than the terrorists inflict. Indeed, that has been the case. Before unleashing this wave of terrorism, the Palestinians were on the verge of statehood and enjoyed a flourishing economy. All of that was destroyed when Arafat walked away, rather than continued, the peace talks with Clinton and Barak. As I said, the consequences of terrorism have been disastrous for the Palestinians. If Zionists could listen, maybe they wouldn't need revenge. As I said, there is no government in the world that will accept terrorism and not retaliate when it is perpetrated on them. Dianavan, I believe you're from Canada. When domestic terrorists were operating in Canada in 1970, Prime Minister Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act and brought the army into the streets to root it out. More than 500 people, most of them innocent, were imprisoned with trial and charge for the duration. If the U.S. didn't need to control the middle east, maybe we could have peace. If the U.S. actually controlled the Middle East, they would have dictated a peace long ago. The fact is, the U.S. actually has very limited influence there.
