I strongly disagree, The various palestinian factions involved were actively undermining the internal soverignty of nation-state. There should be no qualms as to the criminal actions of certain factions of the Palestinian Authority and other factions. That is not to say that individual Jordanian soldiers did not perpetrate criminal acts during the conflict. They did, but whatever it is that they did, it was dealt with through military tribunals and justice was served. <BR/>There should be no mistaking the fact that these Palestinian factions were nothing more than criminal gangs and were dealt with decisively. My only qualm is the move against these factions should have come sooner and swifter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628251.post-1159168498438942532006-09-25T18:14:00.000+11:002006-09-25T18:14:00.000+11:00What a history lesson...I hadn't read it before an...What a history lesson...I hadn't read it before and it helps put pieces together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628251.post-1159162685551215062006-09-25T16:38:00.000+11:002006-09-25T16:38:00.000+11:00i noticed some typos and then i remembered you had...i noticed some typos and then i remembered you had to type this out lol.<BR/><BR/>thanks for the efforts man. although i've read this piece before i always thought it was pretty informative. thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628251.post-1159160300343337852006-09-25T15:58:00.000+11:002006-09-25T15:58:00.000+11:00Thanks for taking the time to write that man.
