"People Burned Like Torches" A gruesome account of the bus bombing in Jerusalem yesterday: "I saw a woman going up in flames, as if she were a torch. Her clothes burned first and then her skin," said Eli Shmueli as he described the Jerusalem suicide bomb attack that killed 16 and wounded 100 others. A parking inspector for the city, Shmueli, 36, was standing by the Clal Building on Jaffa Road late Wednesday afternoon when he heard the explosion. He turned to see a bus full of burning people. Shmueli ran toward them. There was no glass left in the mangled bus. So he was able to reach inside to try and help douse the flames on people's skins, slightly hurting his own hands in the process. "It was a barbecue, people burned like torches," he said.... I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for peace in Israel, for peace in the Middle East. I hope you do, too. Let us continue to pray. But the time has come it may have come a long time ago when we must admit that the real answer to this horrible situation requires that the leaders of terrorism be hunted down and killed. Bush's & Blair's "roadmap" was blown apart with that bus, if not before. There may very well be many, many people among the Palestinians who really want peace. Good! Maybe even most of them do. Great! Find the ones who don't want peace who think that killing innocent men, women, and children on a bus is a justifiable political tactic find them and kill them. (Thanks, Charles.)
