[lbo-talk] Bush admin pressed Brits to arrest suspects

[andie nachgeborenen]

No.  Or maybe, but they'd be much less significant a 
force.  But a  world in which the US and Israel acted
like civilized countries is far removed from ours.
Insofar as the proposal to deal with terrorism is:
make the US and Israel act like civilized countries,
I'm for it, but I'm for socialism too. In the meantime
I don't think we should put off dealing with pressing
issues until those happy days arrive. jks
