I admit I do not have a clear understanding of Israel's role. I am working on it, though, and certainly welcome enlightenment in that respect.

I am by no means an expert on Middle Eastern Affairs, although, based on reading many posts at this site, I feel confident in saying that i am somewhat better informed than the typical Mudcatter. On that note, I would be very happy to hear from someone who does represent an expert opinion.

Something to consider. The U.S. played a great role in brokering peace between Israel and Egypt. That relationship remains stable (at least by Middle Eastern standards). However, Egypt paid the price of having its leader killed by extremists who opposed the peace. These extremists continue to have a horrible effect on Egyptian internal affairs. And some of these folks are in collusion with Bin Laden. In fact, one of them was actually involved in the bombing. I am not sure how diplomacy is going to work in this instance.

Still simmering on. Hard to play catch-up but I'm glad Don Firth did his post. Oh, and thanks to Bugpuss for the link to "On Hiroshima and Nagasaki." I only remember the ice cream party that my folks and their friends had on VJ day, and how depressed some of the wives looked when they realized they'd have to give up their professional jobs and return to good housekeeping.

Whatever can we do with George W. blabbermouth? He occasionally makes some sane statements and then blows it all away with "Crusades" and "dead or alive." This is the man who is supposed to provide the leadership to form an anti-terrorist coalition of Christain, Moslem, (add your favorite missing religious group) states. Bizarre...:-()

The topic of "crusade" and "dead or alive" have been beat to death elsewhere. But to rehash, Crusade has a rather different meaning from that of the Middle Ages. One can hear of Crusades against poverty, AIDS, etc. Some people argue that Moslems only consider its original meaning, yet i have not heard of Moslems being outraged. CASE CLOSED!!

Dead or alive in the old west (which Bush specifically referred to) meant that someone was guilty/suspected of a crime that was serious enough to warrant the use of deadly force in their capture. Considering that Bin laden has been indicted for crimes and is the top suspect in others, that statement is in no way extreme. CASE CLOSED!!

Egypt paid the price of having its leader killed by extremists who opposed the peace

So did Israel of course.

Well mudcatters ... now you all can see why I have admired and respected Don Firths' mind and heart for close to fifty years! He is a treasure. I wonder if the State Dept has any openings? CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
