Thread Name: Attacks begin
Subject: RE: Attacks begin
From "Guest" Oct 7, 03.22 pm-- "Those that do not support the US and the coalition countries in their reprisals-------should be shot for treason".Well Sir, who-ever you are, I am like many another ; I do NOT support "reprisals", unless they can be proven to be constructive in attaining the object of justice. "Reprisals" suggest revenge. Revenge merely propagates further "reprisals" in the opposite direction and perpetuates violence.I wholeheartedly approve actions directed at the elimination of the sources of terrorism. Any such concerted action MUST include the eradication of situations which breed bitterness [the root of terrorism---]. The likelihood of terrorist attack will NEVER end as long as the situation in Palestine [horror of horrors--a naughty word!]is alowed to continue. Many cotributors seem to see things this way; perhaps, "Guest" we should all be at least "half-shot"?
