From David Warren

The impact of this fudged film cannot be ignored. While in Iraq, I heard about it. A Lebonese friend of mine quized me about why America supports Isreal when they kill children.

"The incident was the alleged shooting of a little boy by Israeli troops in Gaza, in September 2000. His name was (purportedly) Muhammad Al-Dura, and if my reader has been watching any television over the last eight years, he will have seen the clip, probably many times. A Palestinian man and boy are shown cowering by a wall. Then suddenly the boy is shown dead in his father’s arms. The voice-over explains that he was picked off by an Israeli marksman."

Here's a question, what country has risked being eliminated in every one of it's wars, yet none of it's attackers did?
