In the end, unless someone can indicate the election was fraudlent, (that there was corruption or forced votes) what you would have are people voting for who they think is going to deliver the best quality of life for their children. We find terrorisim to be abhorrent, they look at the razing of homes and annexing of land to be just as so...it's all relative.

Nope Spence, just what I consider normal human universal values. Jusr because some people portray their causes as sympathetic or somehow moral in their own sense of culture does not mean I have to believe or accept their crap.

I consider it coercion when people are led to believe that strapping bombs to themselves or their kids is the "right" thing to do and will lead to some sort of salvation for them.

Tired now...
