SOMEONE KILL THIS GUY

[Bob Millette]

i looked at the atrocities being comitted by the isreali government upon the
palistinians. it is hard to accept that a government can be condoning these
horrific acts. i know that America has it's history of similar behavior, but
somehow, Americas Native Americans, and, my government have come to terms. i
think it is important the both Isreal and the arab world change. While it is
good to learn from the past, any successfully married couple knows that
bringing up past fights everytime a new quarrel arises is for the most part,
useless and counter-productive to resolving current issues.

the US (and the rest of the world) was more ruthless back in the day.

yes -- it's called exterminate 99% percent of them and take all the
good land. those that are left are too weak to protest. it was
certainly harsh, brutal, barbaric and completely polically incorrect,
but then you have to break eggs to make an omelette. i don't blame
native americans for being angry. i'd be mightly pissed off too.

didn't machiavelli say something to the effect of it is better to kill
the father and let the sons inherit rather than to confiscate the
lands? in the former case, the sons will eventually forgive you. in
the latter, they will constantly scheme and plot against you. this is
borne out in US history. for the former case, there aren't enough
native americans left alive to mount a viable opposition. for the
latter, look at cuban exiles in the US for a clear example of the
constant scheming.

i figure, either the israelies kill off or mass expulse the
palestinians, or they will go down in roughly fifty years as the
palestinians have a much higher birth rate. i really don't see
co-existance as a viable possibility since that would involve giving
up very deeply held values on both sides. i would love to be proved
wrong, however.

My sister in law was about 100 ft away from the last suicide
bomber. My son was visiting Netanya that day also. I can't
find any sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
What is this discussion doing on a printer forum anyway?
