Nope. I mean that when they get pissed at Dad for telling them to pay their own way and they look for Dads enemies to hang out with, they're going to be looking for a long long time. They might try marrying lawmakers
or something equally hideous but thats not quite the same thing as joining the other side in a blood feud.
My reading of US history indicates that, more often than not, we choose our enemies.
The haters, Arafat, the clerics, Sharon, bin Laden etc.. need proof that outsiders hate them to survive and maintain power. If the suicide bombings ended today, Sharon would disappear from Israels power structure. I'm not participating in any collective hate because that is playing their game by their rules.
