Subject: RE: BS: Rumsfeld Supports Troops?
That was an uncalled for remark about the Palestinians, although any statement is undoubtedly true for some members of any group. I have heard of Palestinians beating their children trying to keep them away from either the terrorists or the rock throwing etc. Do you believe many inner city parents encourage their children to go out and join gangs? Probably not. There are powerful forces acting on young people in all these situations. There are not a lot of good options..keeping them home in a tiny place..my little two room beach cottage would probably seem like paradise to a family of 10....

They are obviously short on supervised activities etc. Perhaps you would like to help me build a small, very cheap, playground there.
