"The Palestinian Authority could collapse unless there is urgent extra international aid to relieve the plight of the Palestinian people", SO SAITH Kofi Annan

I almost started laughing when I read this sentence. As if that could possibly be a negative occurrence. I think Arafat has enough money stashed throughout planet earth to save his own followers. I also think Kofi 'Do-Dad' needs a big dose of "NO" from the U.S President and all The 'IMF' and 'World Bank'type groups, after all doesn't the Gov't control how that money is doled out anyway? I will not ever understand why Mr. Arafat is not considered a "Terrorist", and certainly not after 9/11. What is the true reason he has been allowed to live as long as he has? I don't believe I'll ever fully comprehend that one.

I also watch this stuff pretty closely, and I have never seen any ambivalence about Israel from her. In fact, I always regarded her as a foil to Colin Powell and the rest of the State Department internationalists.

I think that your anger is misplaced.

The bad part of a PA collapse is?

Three Words: Starve 'em out.

Three MORE: Little tiny violins.

Sorry, Koofee, enough is enough. It's like pouring $$$ down a rat hole.
