The belief that only known experts can be able to accurately for forth a valid opinion

Well, there's the rub, isn't it? He wasn't accurate.

TV Commentators and columnists speculate on public policy all the time, it is part of their art of writing and critical thought. They have some hits and they have some misses.

I see no problem with Larry's opposition to a Palestinian state. Again, I find it very unencouraging that President Bush had to tell these people publically, that they were not going to be allowed to re-elect Arafat to public office. Are the Palestinians really ready for transition into democracy if they cannot understand that electing a known TERRORIST to office is not a democratic principle?

What's more, should we as a country, support a democratic Palestine when the average person was out cheering in the streets on September 11th? The thought of these fanatics getting a free state scares me, because they aren't responsible enough to handle what a democracy entails.

Also, I feel sorry for Israel. Afterall, they have would have to live next to a Palestinian state, not us. They are on the front lines everyday fighting these fanatics.
