Me personally??? I would put both on the news and make very sure that no doubt was left who was responsible for the deaths in both cases - forget trying to be "politically correct". If Iraqi terrorists are responsible, tell who. If palestinian terrorists like arafat or hamas are responsible - tell it like it is. If Israel screwed up and overreacted, say so, although in my opinion there has been very little of that. If anything, their problem is that they have underreacted due to pressure from us and that has encouraged the terrorists. When Israel's reaction to acts of terror was immediate and ruthless, there were a lot fewer attacks than they now have.
