"Getting back to the fact that Arafat quoted the Koran =

Lets not forget that the Koran was written when tribal wars were fought throughout the world."

Then it's high time the interpretation was revised.

For Bush to call something a "crusade" is a figure of speach, that few if any will act on. For someone to quote the Koran, as Arafat did, is incitement, and he fully knows and appreciates that, knowing damn well that it will be acted on.

By the bye dianavan, you never got back to me regarding the negotiating basis with Osama bin Laden, et al, that would be open to all the nice people in America (i.e. non-Republicans and non-supporters of the current administration) under the leadership of John F Kerry, on the basis of the fatwah Osama issued in 1998 when the Clinton Administration was in power. Doubt in fact if you've actually bothered to read the declaration of war that has been made against everyone who doesn't fully agree with OBL - Oh sorry I forgot that small number does include you and Akenaton.
