Well, there iS a somewhat direct link: he was "capped" by a missle fired by an Israeli helicopter. And the US has sold a LOT of helicopter gunships to Israel over the past 5 years, knowing full well they would be used to launch attacks in civilian areas.
Deserving or not, he was still technically murdered (Israel has not yet declared war on the PA). And the weapon he was murdered/killed/whatevered with was US-made and sold by the US Administration knowing full well how it would be used. If the US doesn't want to be implicated in some of this shit, then perhaps it should stop selling weapons to parties involved in this kind of shit.
Helicopter gunships don't kill. Humans kill. I know, I know.
i predict a lot more palestinians are gonna get whacked. hezbollah is attacking like right now. then the israelies will take the gloves off. they got a badass military that has been restrained. i pity the fukers caught in the middle.
oh. and
i value strength. 'for it is strength from which all other values are possible.'
