President Bush has declared war on those responsible for the hijacking of four planes and any country that harbours them.

I would like to remind him the US supplies weapons of war to many countries so is as guilty as those who kill with them. US guns have killed thousands of Palestinians, hundreds of them only stone-throwing boys. US tanks have shelled civilian houses, killing innocent men, women and children. US planes, including the F16 fighter-bomber, have fired missiles and dropped bombs on Palestinian houses. All this is to help Israel confiscate more Arab land.

The United Nations never ordered the "no-fly zones" north and south of Iraq. The US decided this on its own with Britain's help. I ask the US to look at itself and ask, just who is the terrorist in the world?
