I have no sympathy for these people at all.  They have brought their
suffering on themselves for the most part. I have read and researched this
problem for many years.  The sad thing is if the US stopped all support of
Israel(our only ally in that region BTW)and bowed to the demands of the
Arabs, the Arabs/Palestinians would still hate the Americans.  
The goal of the Palestinians is to exterminate the Jews, "drive them into
the sea".  That was told to me by several Palestinians.  If I were a Jew
living in Israel, I would be a little harsh towards the Palestinians as
well.
The missles are flying in Kabul now, I hope that this time they blow up more
than just sand.
Not exactly endurance related but I can't think of anything else right now.

I have a hard time having any sympathy or understanding for people who are
celebrating in the streets because (maybe) thousands of US men, women and
children have been horribly murdered!!!
