| Ash, Israel's existence and independance guaranteed by the United Nations. Were Israel to be invaded and conquered by any of it's Arab neighbours the UN would sanction military action to liberate Israel. The US would certainly be at the forefront of any such campaign.

Japle, your experience with Iraqi POWs gave you rather unbalanced reflection of Muslim opinion wouldn't you agree? POWs taken in the first gulf war were not likely to be religiously tollerant people are they? Also you should not let the news influence you so strongly. All news channels are sensationalist. They are after ratings and will actively search out people who celebrate the deaths of their percieved enemies in order to film these celebrations.

Muslims are for the most part wonderful people. As James says, it's that 1% giving them a bad name. |
