>I'll put forward the claim that the most sincere people on earth are the suicide bombers. Sincere or not it is a cowardly and cruel act of evil. If you want to see the face of the devil, just look at the posters of the martyrs that are pasted all over the west bank. I will openly admit my sympathies lie with Israel. Historically the Palistinians have no claim to the west bank or any other land in Israel. They are the malcontents and criminals that have been thrown out of Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran ..... There has never been and, hopefully(heh,heh), never will be a Palistinian state. By the way, what does this discussion have to do with Steves books? Is this leading to a discussion of the Easterner and Teckla revolt in Andhrilanka? John D. Barbato
