Please do, it will provide complete moral clarity for those feeble minded in our society that think the Palestinians actually want peace.
Apparently, this USA Today hasn't been watching the vaunted "Arab street" in recent weeks. If you have been watching the reaction in Amman, Cairo, Damascus, Islamabad and elsewhere, you know it's been remarkably quiet, for a couple of reasons. First, genuine support for bin Laden in the Arab world is tepid, at best, and his "true believers" constitute only a small fraction of the Arab and Islamic worlds.
Of course, there's another reason for the relative calm in the Arab street. The thugs and terrorists who might be tempted to act have been watching our military activity with a great deal of interest. They've been stunned by our ability to mount a military campaign--using mostly surrogate ground forces--and achieve a stunning victory, less than three months after the 11 September attack. Hamas, Hizballah and the rest of those goons understand brute force and resolve. They also know that those B-52s bombing bin Laden back into the 6th century could pay them a visit as well.
Charles Krauthamer had a great piece on this topic a couple of weeks ago. He also pointed out that much of what we hear about the Arab world comes from experts in "Arab studies" programs at U.S. universities. And, as Dr. Krauthamer points out, these pundits have a wrong history of being spectacularly wrong about their so-called area of expertise.....
I think we'll know soon. d:^/
