Time to wrap this up.  This whole thing started because you took me to task when
I equated the Palestinians with the PLO.  I still say that if the Palestinians
continue to support PLO terrorists, they are as culpable as terrorists
themselves.  If you want to debate that, fine.

I asserted that terrorism is *never* justified.  You then went off on various
tangents about Israeli belligerence, terrorism, US terrorism, and other
irrelevant topics about which I have not the time or inclination to debate, as
if the fact that whether the Israelis or Americans are terrorists or not would
be any justification for PLO terrorism (The topic is/was PLO terrorism).

You stated that you were sympathetic with the Palestinians.  As long as the
Palestinians support and chose the PLO as their representative, then that puts
you and anyone else who feels like you do in the seat of a sympathizer with
terrorists, IMO.

I apologize for calling you an "idiot"; I realize now why I did and will
refrain from such characterizations in the future (if there is a future in this
forum, in light of RM's vague threat)
