Heard on UK BBC News 24:
"We must address the issues that feed the terrorists." "Underlying causes need to be dealt with." "Palestinians need a free State - Israelis need secure borders" He also said that American policy of Unilateral Action was one of the causes of the problems, and that the terrorists must be identified and dealt with, but I didn't get the exact quotes for those. Sensible statements. I wonder if anyone will listen? ------------------ |

Israel and Palestina wont be solved in a couple of weeks. All agree to the solutions, but no one is willing to give in to make them come true. I mean if the Arab world so wants Palestina to get their own country, why not give some of that desert to them and the rich west world can sum up the money and technology to give them fresh water, schools education systems adn what ever basic infrastructure needed to get started.. Well, wishful thinking. I do hope that we will see a day when it comes true though.. ------------------ Be vevvy qwiet..I´m hunting wabbits... Wolfgirs lair once-upon-a-paper |

This is difficult. I guess many Americans would see this view as admitting some blame, or at least that the terrorists were justified in some way.

I do see what you're saying. I can only give you my personal view, which is that the terrorists were not justified to take the actions they did. I am steadfast and uncompromising in that view. With regard to preventing this kind of atrocity from ever occurring again, it is my respectful opinion that we must carefully examine the causes of it, as well as searching for the immediate perpetrators. Indeed, justice demands that those responsible for the act pay for their crimes and I believe that very strongly. Additional to this, we must have the sense to delve deeper, to combat the original problems that led to yesterday's tragic events. That is my view at least and I hope, the spirit behind these remarks. ------------------ "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." |

If this is the same Robert McNamara from the 1960's that was in the Johnson Administration, he has little or no credibilty in this country. He's the one that started and prosecuted the Vietnam War.
