As this was a quickie, I left out links and sources, but if you want them, just ask.Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?

About a thousand Palestinians killed and about 4,400 injured so far. This is something that has been really bothering me from the beginning. The notion that discussion of this situation is even controversial makes my head want to explode a la that one scene in Scanners.

They don't understand how governments work and they don't understand the schools of thought that create the political spectrum. This is a problem.
