You are telling me that Americans have no free time to find out about one of the greatest world issues right now? That is just a lie. How is it that the majority of people know all about what happened on prime time? How is it that every new single on the radio is memorized? How is it that people have sports statistics memorized for an entire season? I am not arguing against people voting according to the economy. I know this. I am saying that to claim people are so hard working in this country that there is no possible means for them to clue in to the news is ridiculous.
Isreal would not be able to exist without the aid of the United States. I believe that it is 3-4 billion dollars annually that the US gives to Isreal. This does not include the additional aid packages that are sent there. Is this not the reason that Afghanistan was attacked? Because they supported the enemies of the US? Then why is it such a stretch of the mind that the US would be targeted?
Trust me the children and women living in Palestine right now have more balls than you or I will ever have. Such judgement calls show the lack of knowledge that you have about the whole situation. If a 120 lb man is constantly beaten by a 300 lb man, would not the little man be considered stupid if he kept constantly going toe-to-toe with the huge guy? Would we not expect for him to think of some other means of defeating this individual? I do not condone suicide bombings but I can also see that you have no idea what the Isrealis do to the Palistinians.
I suggest finding some Palistinians and asking them about the hardships that they went through and why they sought refuge in this country. It opened my eyes to the atrocities.
Peace
