This thread epitomises exactly what is wrong in the middle east!
Everyone takes a side and is unwilling to look at "their own side's" faults / misdoings, whilst at the same time rabidly pointing out the faults of "the opposition". This means that EVERYONE is categorised into one camp or the other! Nobody is in the "middle" so if a point criticising "your" side occurs you are fully justified in slagging the other off without having to look at any points made, much less answering them. The middle east is a big pile of poo ..... if you go playing round in it you WILL SMELL BAD!
If you distrust your enemy to the extent that you cannot believe in them (or their emissaries) you have lost YOUR humanity!
The opposition HAS done bad stuff! ..... so have YOU!
For what it is worth Sharron seemed to be changing direction!
