Wake up!

Daniel: Been reading your views for some time and enjoy the other perspective.
However, you are clever enough to know that this whole terror vs/ civilization is a "make work project". More police, judges, military etc., etc.

Isreal won't see a change until a spokesperson takes the podium and tells the populace to "not pay any more taxes, until the terror ends"! Then you will see a change in policy and practice.

Also, being a terrorist should be a world crime, with the punishment not only for yourself but also for your immediate family.
When you have commited a terrorist act, your loved ones go to jail. Even if they kill themselves in the act.

Believe me, if I thought my kids were involved in something like that , I wouldn't sit quiet and wait for jail time for my wife and I.
Keep up the good work, it will be worth it!
Sincerly, Ron Watts
