"The use of dopey kids as suicide bombers is clearly abhorrent. It is child abuse combined with murder. Yet the United Nations says nothing. It would not even mention terrorism in its proposed condemnation of Israel for the murder of Yassin. The one-sidedness of that resolution was the stated reason the United States vetoed it. You would think from reading the resolution that Israel had taken out some sweet Muslim cleric, a veritable Islamic Gandhi, and not a leader of a terrorist organization that has killed almost 400 Israelis and wounded countless others in the past 31/2 years."

3. "Would not even mention terrorism"

UN:

The Council failed to adopt the draft resolution, tabled by Algeria and Libya, which would have also condemned all terrorist attacks against any civilians, as well as all acts of violence and destruction, by a vote of 11 in favour, to 1 against (United States), with 3 abstentions (Germany, Romania, United Kingdom)

Text from resolution:

"Condemns all attacks against any civilians as well as all acts of violence and destruction"

Please find some better liars.

4. Is the word, terrorism

in there somewhere?

6. How would you define terrorism?

"Condemns all attacks against any civilians as well as all acts of violence and destruction"

sounds like a good start

the word 'terrorism' is moot - do you think the Israeli government uses terrorism (terror tactics against civilians) - that's the point. Nobody thinks 'they' are terrorists.

To hang on the use of the word terrorism is meaningless.

5. Timely demolition of a once cherished institution gone horribly wrong.
