Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggested Tuesday that Israel must loosen controls at border crossings to allow freer passage for Palestinians and economic development in areas that would one day be an independent Palestinian state.

(Note to self. On 10/25/2005 Condi Rice said something that made me go "what?". And it gave me a "feeling" about her I have not had before).

Will Condi be willing to supervise these crossings after they are "loosened". Just to prove she believes in this idea? She does not have to do anything fancy, just hang around there while the Arabs (what's a Palestinian?) walk and drive on by her? I'm sure it's safe. After all, it's her idea.

You're not alone. First, Israel gives away land that I don't think they should have. Now, the US is asking Israel to loosen their border restrictions? It wasn't good enough that Israel gave the land away, oh no. They must also tailor their border policy to increase the Palestinians' economic development? Why not hand over Jerusalem while we're at it.

Is Pennsylvania Avenue open for free commerce yet? Of course not -- we are in a war. Condi's advice is deadly.
