oh and another thing -
where in my message exactly did I express glee? 

Alev Adil 
    


Odd sentiment. One "can't blame" the Palestinians for consciously and 
knowingly celebrating the slaughter of thousands of people, but one CAN blame 
the Americans for carelessly and short-sightedly supporting an intermediary 
government's policies?
 
Hypocrisy such as this sickens me almost as much as your attempt to 
characterise the actions of a few people within Palestine as expressing the 
sentiments of all Palestinians. Yasser Arafat does not seem to share your 
glee at watching the suffering in New York.

but the US is getting a taste of their own medicine, theyve financed the

to
be pleased to see them get a taste of their own medicine for the first time
ever. I too am scared about anti-arab sentiment tho. on the docklands light
railway in London at Canary Wharf ( a skyscraper business centre in London)
commuters expressed sentiments similar to the midwestren sentiments
previously discussed.
