[Vision2020] Reading

[Carl Westberg]

Pat writes:  "It is not what I have heard from some on this site who want to 
explain away the actions of the Palestinian terrorists as human rights 
activities justified and acceptable."  I don't recall anyone saying that.  
No one on this list, to my knowledge, has attempted to portray terrorism as 
justifiable and acceptable.                                                  
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                   Carl
