Hey, here's a way to stop suicide bombings - give the palestinians a bunch of missile-firing apache helicopters and let them and the israelis go at each other head to head. four billion dollars a year to israel - four billion dollars a year to the palestinians - they can just blow each other up and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
