Posted by Mary Ellen Smith on 09/08/04 at 09:56 AM Yes...not too many realize that the conflict goes back so many years and can be traced to those two brothers...so does the whole of terrorism have its roots there? Really insightful and well written! |

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 01/05/08 at 02:18 AM CONGRATULATIONS on POTD Mike. The sadness is that too many of us wonder when all this will end.
