It should be obvious to anyone who has followed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that the primary goal of the Arabs is to eliminate Israel. Everything in their rhetoric says so, so why shouldn't we believe them? The slightest glance at history reveals that talk accommodates nothing. If anything, it confirms the old adage,"Talk is cheap."

Still we persist with the wrong approach. While the Israelis do everything to protect life, the Muslims worship and wish for death. Without sounding too gruesome, we should do everything to further their desires.

Listening to Secretary of State Rice project American mentality and wishes on the Palestinians and the Muslims, makes me want to ask, Don't you listen to them? Don't you get it? They absolutely hate Israel, the Jews, and the United States. If September 11 taught us anything, it should be that they're absolutely serious. When are we going to take our collective head out of the sand?
