In 1991 or so, there was a highly publicized case about 4 East German border guards who shot and killed fellow East Germans trying to escape communism by going over the Berlin wall.

The border guards were found guilty and charged to some 5 or 6 years of prison, although it was clear they were acting under orders and they were draftees with no choice with respect to their military service.

Having been both an East European draftee, and someone who escaped communism in a similar fashion, I found this as one of the greatest travestee of justice.

While these men were going to jail for things they were forced in doing at the age of 19 or 20, the bastard Erik Honeker was allowed to flee to Chile (the land of Pinochet!!!!! go figure) and die peacefully.

I guess communist dictator and capitalist dictator can get along very well thank you, as long as they murder their opposition.

Back to Israel - I see confiscation and demolition of Palestinian homes as an act of terrorism. Also terrorism is to shoot at ambulances who try to help the wonded on a battlefield. The Israeli state seems to be guilty as hell, and Bush hasn't bombed Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

ON the contrary, we gave them more weapons and "unconditional support" so they can do more of the same in the name of the "war on terror".

Very hypocritical in my oppinion - but also very fundamentalist conservative worthy of a Bush adminisration.
