    you do not considered Yasser Arafat, a man who is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of civilians as a result of direct military action by the groups at his command against them, as a terrorist.


    You are well aware, I hope, that what you wrote above fits better with Ariel Sharon than Yassir Arafat?


    You sir - are ignorant, you don't know much about what you write - and you tend to see "your side" as the good side with no regards to the motives and viewpoints of others.


    Hey - that's your problem. Myself I support freedom.

    Israel occupies Palestine. Palestinians defend themselves and their country against an aggressor.


    You know what? If Denmark invaded Sweden I would too.


    If the US gave the palestinians all the arms you're giving Israel I assure you that the palestinians would use them instead of having to resort to suicide bombing.


    The former South African government called Nelson Mandela a terrorist.


    Think about that for a moment.

    Actually Microsoft might be killing themselves. For gaming, a lot of people turn to consoles. Microsoft bringing out the Xbox with the numerous PC-like games (or straight conversions) actually help a gamer run Linux on his PC instead - playing on the Xbox (or if you're like me, Gamecube .. )


    I hadn't thought about this before. Interesting.

    The USA is the only country ever to have been convicted of terrorism by the World Court (regarding Nicaragua). The USA is a country actively supporting and installing so called "puppet regimes" all over the world - and while doing so engages in illegal warfare.

    Why do all these people sponsors terrorist groups through so-called "charities"? Where do they find the terrorists? Part of the explanation seems to be that prejudice ingrained from infancy breeds violence.


    It's only the US that claims all non-US charities are supporting terrorists. According to US doctrine I myself have supported terrorists - while I like to think of the same donation as me supporting the Palestine state against the occupant nation of Israel.

    If you're brought up in the idea that your country is the best in every domain and the rest of the world is just made of jealous jerks, you obviously have a different outlook on violence - specifically, you may not be reluctant to approve the use of violence by your government.


    Since some might not see that your post was anti-american - I thought I would point it out more clearly. It's well written - and I guess most of us outside the US can agree that this is what it all looks like to us.
