Yusupha, Thanx for the break down. When i responded to brother Habib's call to justice weeks ago i had already made my position clear as to whose side i am on: Viva Intifada! As i said then and still maintain! No stammering! Your exchanges with brothers Habib, Bakary and others who put in their two cents in-between have been enlightening for people like myself and a source of reference. When you talked about upbringing, i could not understand how you could distinguish bad rearing from the Palestinian side, yet fail to see the the same syndrome, instinct to kill and ravage the enemy(by conventional means)in the young israeli soldiers. What we are witnessing in the Mid-East is what military experts refer to as 'Asymmetric Warfare'! On one side you have heavy artillery, instruments of precision which seldom miss their targets. On the other hand you have young militants who excel in making life-shattering explosives, turning their bodies into warheads! As human-beings we are born with the ability to take our lives! May Allah, The Most Merciful and Compassionate forgive us when we cross that line in choosing a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Ameen! Finally, your these last words really make a good quote of the day! "The operative words for these two peoples is peace,understanding & love. Both parties should make a serious commitment to end this senseless violence and come together for a lasting peace agreement. The USA also as the third party power broker should really try harder to ease this conflict. The same applies to the UN." Thank you my brother, Sanyang. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
