A lot of bloggers are talking about a comic which was recently published from the series “Pearls before Swine.” Its syndicated, but not all over the country as of yet, so if you want to see it, [url=http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20031228.html]just visit the page where it is published.

Let me just say this, if even [b]one[/b] bomb was detonated in the US killing six children and we knew who was responsible, there is no doubt in mind that the our military would soon be on their trail. Not only that, no rat hole would be deep enough to save them… right?
This kind of tragedy has happened, not once, but hundreds of times in Israel over the years. Perhaps those who so quickly critisize their policies against terrorism should first try and put themselves in their shoes.
Its a Tuesday morning and your little boy or girl is finishing their breakfast. You are preparing for your day, but you make sure they have their lunch, or money for lunch, and check the clock to make sure they don’t miss the bus for school. You bundle them up in their coat, give them a kiss, or a hug, or both, and send them on their way… and the next time you see them, its as a burned and shredded corpse in the morgue.
They were innocent, and because of that, they were targeted, which is exactly what terrorists do. That same morning, they were looking for a target that would take the most innocent lives, cause the most heartache, and, ironically, earn them (in their twisted minds) a special seat in heaven.
Which group would you rather support? Think about it.
