Answer 2

There have always been terrorists.

What we now call terrorists used to be called names like "bandits", "pirates" and the "barbarian horde". The names have changed, and so have the available weapons, but the threat has always been there.

There will always be terrorists and criminals. At least as long as there is hatred and fear in the world. Living in terror and panic, sacrificing our liberties to cower like rabbits, surrendering the freedoms this country was founded on in the name of security -- these will not make the threat go away.

In fact, giving in to panic and fear and terror, letting go of our belief in the greater good, these are the goals of the terrorists. They want us to be afraid. They want us to close our doors and windows, to hide under the bed, to allow the police to break into our homes and private lives so we have no liberty or happiness. This is what they want to accomplish -- us living in fear.

The threat is never going to go away. The only thing we can control is how we choose to live in response to it.

Ehud Barak offered to set up a nation of Palestine and that Terrorist Arafat turned it down because it did not include Jerusalem.

Answer 4

Who is "WE"? are you israeli?

If the palestinians had not decided to blow up planes
and kidnap hostages back in the 60s and 70s they wouldn't have the problems they do today. They made a choice now they
are reaping the benifits of it.
