The fact you mispelled retards there isn't really a surprise, but it's still funny considering the context.

Yes he did.
Terror strikes still occur. Palestine broke their bargain(wether Arafat had control is another issue)
Israelites see the bargain broken and counterstike, thus breaking their side of the bargain.

He never said anything about Israel. Just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you can just inject things into diffx's argument. STFU.

The Dems lost rural America 40 years ago.

I think if Palestine were to take the initiative and crack down on terrorism and take some sort of nonviolent resistance movement, progress would be made very quickly. As it is, many people cannot (justifiably) sympathize with a group of people who have spent the last 50 years strapping bombs to their chest, indoctrinating youths towards violence and hatred, and being led by a horrible, corrupt terrorist. If all of those things were to change, the situation would change.

Why not, that'll be fun to watch. I doubt either side would "gracefully" accept defeat. Either way we get both sides screaming at each other to die while one is in power. But here's the scary part:

Once the Justices start retiring, we'll have a 1 party majority federal government in all 3 branches. Is this a good thing?

Ah yes, STFU. The words of a true debater. Such eloquence, such tact. I am convinced by your words.

And this thread is a great example of what I think is so wrong with this country. "We're winning. "We're losing." WE are Americans. Screw this Republican and Democrat BS. Get rid of parties, and vote for the people who you think are best, not just who falls into some ridiculous "party" you've decided to align yourself with.

---

Perhaps people are voting for the candidates they think are best.

This is true, but you can't say that Araffat could just snap his fingers and make the terrorists go away. Hamas said they wouldn't stop, even if Araffat and the PLO told them. They can no more fight against terrorists from within themselves than the Israelis can fight against the more military-minded and anti-arab elements in their society. This is a situation that screams for international assistance, but has never gotten it for more than a little while. Usually the foreign countries come in, try to do something, then when it fails they just wash their hands and avoid it.

You wouldn't acknowledge the facts. No point in debating rationally when someone is determined to be right even when they clearly aren't.

Didn't I say Ohio wouldn't be called tonight? I also said Florida wouldn't be called, but it did, but I more votes will be counted in the next few days or so.
