Spain was once a capital for muslim territories too. No justice until it is in their hands again too.
Nothing draws a crowd like victory. The old weak horse strong horse argument, and in Iraq we are proving to be the strong horse and the biggest baddest dog around.
Things don’t happen in a vacuum, nothing does. Look who is coming to Annapolis, everyone except Iran, who now occupies the sole position as the pariah of the Middle East. I doubt those wealthy sheiks, who steal the people’s oil money for a living, want to have a nuclear exchange in their oil fields — It would all end for them.
A midrashic approach
Halt, the world says, you deserve it you filthy land thieving Jews. Give them what is theirs. The Jews reply, we have tried to give them what is theirs but they won't take it. You haven't tried hard enough, they say to the Jewish guilty soul. You have no right to deny the arab his destiny in the land and in Jerusalem. But we have no one to talk to, the Jews complain. We will make you a negotiating partner Edom replies, take Fatah. Nevermind their dehumanizing messages to their own children about you. It is merely a show. They must maintain their OWN credibility you know. Negotiate with them and we will support you. But they too seek to kill us the Jews respond. None sense Edom responds, they seek to right the ancient wrongs. They merely seek a land to live on as you do. The Jews finally acquiese. We will indeed negotiate with Fatah since we cannot negotiate with the worse of the two evils.
