| | Volsquatch | With the likes of Iran and Syria funding Hamas peace talks only give time for these types of terrorist funding countries to strengthen and recruit their homicide bombers. Hamas must be destroyed and countries that fund them need to be exposed and dealt with. I'm really sick and tired of the US bearing most of the burden on these fronts. It is just way too convenient for other so called super powers to sit back and watch as the US tries to hold the world together and then take it in the arse on global trading. What has Japan/Germany/France/ done lately to do anything, except reap the rewards. I did not mention Russia bec Putin is a closet terrorist funder himself with his behind closed doors trading with Iran. |

| Sounds like Father Jonathan Morris knows what he's talking about. It's common sense that you can't negotiate with a radical/extremist. As noted, that type of thing is simply used by the radicals to buy time to inflict more terror. That's why the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists and doesn't talk to the crazies. Looks like all of that might change if BHO wins the election. He is all for talking to the crazies. Idiot. |

One of the students, Yitzhak Dadon, reportedly shot the gunman twice before he was finally killed by an off-duty Israeli army officer, who had gone to the school after hearing gunfire.
"I shot him twice in the head," he told the Reuters news agency. "He started to sway and then someone else with a rifle fired at him, and he died." BBC NEWS | Middle East | Eight killed at Jerusalem school | Any more arguments out there for gun control? You gotta love it when seminary students are packing heat and put an end to a situation that could have been a heck of a lot more tragic.

| there are no moderates in the Islamic world. you have the extremists who will get angry at the drop of a hat and you have the non-extremists who are scared of the extremists.
There is no Muslim Ghandi.

| Here's a link, BBC NEWS | Middle East | Eyewitness: School 'like slaughterhouse' Quote:
One of the students, Yitzhak Dadon, said the attacker was wearing torn jeans and fired at the students with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Mr Dadon said he shot the attacker twice in the head, wounding him.
"I laid on the roof of the study hall, cocked my gun and waited for him. He came out of the library spraying automatic fire," he said.
"I shot him twice in the head. He started to sway and then someone else with a rifle fired at him, and he died."

We do have freedom of speech and that is a good thing but if everyone served then I'm sure some of these idiots out there would exercise those rights more responsibly. |

I'm willing to guess that had this happened in the states, he would have been killing people til he ran out of ammuntion, as the American people have become all too willing to flee to the protection of an often inept police force. It seems that the "Fight" in "Fight vs. Flight" is being educated out of our country. |
