Janice in NJ, I cannot share your faith in Gandhiesque resistance. It was tried in China in 1989 and the subsequent reprisals were shown on television worldwide. The fighting between the Israeli's and the Palestinians are because two nations are tring to occupy the same land which is probably not large enough for either. If you put two tigeresses and their cubs on an Island only large enough to support one they will fight. Does it matter which one strikes first?

I'm glad that you are on Carol's side. I shudder to think of where this debate might have gone if you weren't
