-> Hi, FRANK SCHEIDT! How are you?   
   -> on Monday, 27 of February, I read your message to ALEXANDER KORYAGIN   
   -> about "Re: Writing about the first amendment"   
   ->    
   ->  ak>> Americans have been loosing there freedom in other way. When they   
   ->  ak>> chose to support Israel in its unjust ways in Palestine they at   
   ->  ak>> long last had brought terrorism to the mainland.   
   ->    
   ->  FS> While it's true, Israel occupied Palestine in the late 1940s   
   ->  FS> illegally, a similar beginning applies to all nations -- including   
   ->  FS> the US. A stronger group takes over a weaker one. (Ask the   
   ->  FS> American Indians about their history.) Since Israel has now   
   ->  FS> occupied that land for six decades, they now have as much right to   
   ->  FS> it as do the Palestinians.   
   ->    
   -> The core of the problem is that Palestinians is not a small ethnic   
   -> group whose rights can be violated with impunity. All the Arabs   
   -> actually is one nation, with one language,    
      
   Actually the Arabian nations not only have more than one dialect of Arabic,   
   some cannot even understand the other.  Example, Egyptian Arabic is said to   
   be completely unintelligible to Iraqi Arabic speakers.  And Iran, of   
   course, isn't even an Arabian nation; they speak Farsi.  However, they all   
   hate Israel with about the same intensity.   
      
   -> dignity and etc. That's why   
   -> a humiliation of a small part of this nation causes great uproar, anger   
   -> and hatred all over the world. The present events in Syria is a bright   
   -> example.   
   ->    
   -> Israel pretends that he solved all its problems. But Israel looks like   
   -> an ostrich with its head down in ground. It sees nothing around itself   
   -> and is unaware that its actions cause great waves of anger and hatred   
   -> across the whole world. It would be a little problem if violence and   
   -> terror would be an Israel's problem only. But actually, many of the   
   -> world's present day problems on this planet have been caused by   
   -> injustice towards Palestinians. Solve the problem in Palestine -   
   -> we'll have a different, better planet!   
      
   That would help, but I think it's too simplistic a plan to aid the entire   
   globe.   
       
   ->  FS> I don't believe the US should support any foreign country,   
   ->  FS> including Israel, Egypt, etc. However Israel has the right to live   
   ->  FS> in peace!   
   ->    
   -> Terrorist and intolerance can be easily divided. If we have several   
   -> terrorists we can say they are sick people. But when thousands of   
   -> people wage war, and they are a weakest side, it means that a great   
   -> injustice was made.   
   ->    
   -> Taking in account that the Arabs is a great worldwide nation we see   
   -> clearly that no peaceful solution can be achieved without liberation of   
   -> the Arab part of Palestine and a fare division of the Palestine. It   
   -> doesn't matter who began wars in this conflict. The main thing that   
   -> Israel is not in position to confiscate the Arab lands.   
      
   That's true, and that's one reason why the MidEast "crisis" has been   
   pestering us for decades!   
      
   ->  ak>> After that Americans are not any more free people. You are   
   ->  ak>> tapped, you are searched at airports like criminals, they cannot   
   ->  ak>> freely and safely travel around the world, etc.   
   ->    
   ->  FS> We are NOT searched at airports "like criminals". The airport   
   ->  FS> searching is in the interest of our own safety. If you don't like   
   ->  FS> being searched -- and I don't -- then you can refuse to take a   
   ->  FS> plane anywhere and travel via other means. As I do.   
   ->    
   -> I, personally, would prefer to have additional risk to being searched   
   -> constantly.   
      
    What we need is a sensible balance.  Currently I think the "balance" is   
   too far on the "secure" side ..
