Harry, what was the first true terrorist attack "caused" by our position on Israel on US soil? The first one I can remember was the assassination of RFK by Sirhan Sirhan. That kind of predates all of the recent unpleasantness. We've tried everything short of abandoning Israel to the "tender mercies" of the Arab world. We've tried bringing them to the peace table, we've tried sending in peacekeepers, we've tried just about every option out there, and they STILL keep killing Americans. At some point, we have to say "enough's enough", and just kick the shit out of them, so that they no longer view us as an "easy target", but rather look at us with fear. Better they not want to attack us out of fear of our reprisals than feel free to keep attacking us out of amusement of our lack of will to force them to comply. Warfare is politics carried to the extreme.
