| Well, I make no qualms about being biased in the whole Israeli/Palestinian affair, but now with Mahmoud Abbas' ultimatum and subsequent resignation, the peace process is once again an act of Israeli masturbation. Palestinians don't want anybody else but Arafat, Israelis would rather bomb Arafat's home and shoot his advisors than talk to him. Is Bush's policy any better than Clinton's? Are we really doing our part to decrease terrorism? What's worse, bulldozing people's homes or blowing up nightclubs? Where does "defense" end and "offense" begin?
. . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. |
