How about we just shrug our shoulders, continue to fix the physical and bureaucratic infrastructure of the country and take our lumps and licks while we give them theirs?
Holy shit! Arafat is the only terrorist in the region?! And the Israelis don't shoot at anyone else?!?! You need to publicize this!
BTW, I realize that in many people's heads Arafat is a kind of synecdoche for terrorism, but the PLO ain't the only organization blowing things up around there. And killing him would hardly put an end to it.

Again with the strawman! You're getting good at them!
The rest of us can now proceed with more productive discussions, now that we have your logic bomb out of the way.
I think this was a pretty productive discussion. You've admitted that you think the war on terror is a bad idea.
Don't bother paraphrasing my meanings.
In other words, "stop responding to what I say"? Maybe you should stop talking?
You are a lost cause- like a...brick wall, it seems.
ad hominem.
How ironic for you.
I don't understand how this is ironic. Unless you're operating under the Morrisette definition, which is "any old strange thing."
We can all laugh at ya next time you accuse somebody else of being one.
I didn't call Scott a brick wall. I said he'd argue with one. There's a difference.
It's really sad that only one post spoke of the murdered S Korean , the others is an excuse for the perpetual liberal vs neo cons flamewar.

I realize that you'll argue with a brick wall, but you should note that a rolleyes is not a substitute for argument.
Arafat is still alive. I win, you lose.

I guess the brightside is that there is little to criticize for actually trying to do something, as it is a screwed situation either way.

Yes, yes, if there is no "silver bullet", then it cannot be done at all, to any degree.

Still making up points to argue against, eh?

No need to make anything up. It's right there in your posts.
Care to prove it?

I guess that's a "no."
