Bakary: Two wrongs do not make a right. Simply put the USA dropping A bombs in 1945 on the residents of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki should not cloud the fact that the killing of innocent people cannot be justified anyway you look at it. What transpired in both all of these instances is wrong, but then again, so were the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Chinese Manchuria during the second World War. I also don't understand how you get the impression that no one on this thread has condemned the conduct of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). In fact your assumption is completely to the contrary of what has transpired on this thread. Virtually everyone who has contributed to this thread has gone into limited detail in condemning atrocities committed by the IDF on innocent Palestinians. I dare say your this assumption is flawed.. -Yus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
