An intelligent thread where it's possible to talk about the underlying ME/Israel problem - to talk about the victims of terrorism elsewhere - and all without being harpooned as an anti-American anti-semite? Am I dreaming?
See US tragedy thread.....
An intelligent solution, IMHO, would be to follow a two-track approach. We must be tough on terrorists, and tough on the causes of terrorism - including the over-selective application of UNSC resolutions and the support of Israel regardless of its actions and activities. If the West and esp. the USA could be seen as 'friends of the Palestinians', any retaliation for this week's outrage would be much easier for the Islamic world to bear. And we'd be doing the right thing.....
