Silvita, your first point I agree totally. I have LONG stated that we should cut ties with Saudi Arabia. Your second point, well, I just don't see anyway around it. The way "I" see it, the Palestinians bomb civilian coffee shops and the Israelis target radicals. Yes, civilians are killed, but until they develop "smart bullets", that's always going to happen. I see the Palestinian people as pawns by the regimes in the region. They use them to rally their people against anyone besides themselves, the real oppressors. As far as Bush targeting civilians, again, Bush doesn't target anyone. The military is given a mission and they carry it out. Sometimes civilians get killed, but you are basically stating the military targets civilians again. Last I checked, Bush hasn't fired one round in Iraq or Afghanistan.
