Abu Abbas died in Baghdad "under suspicious circumstances" just last year.

I thought that was Abu Nidal? Or are they the same person? And at the same time, wasnt it the PFLP, The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, responsible for the Achille Lauro? Not that one group name makes a difference, they are all assholes....:)

OMG, I had forgotten that one.

Half the folks I knew were convinced that with "understanding" and "right treatment" the PLOers could be made to "see the light" and renounce violence. The other half of us were doubting and shaking our heads, because they weren't looking at the elephant in the living room - the persistent denial of Israel's right merely to exist.

And here we are almost 20 years later . . .

Of what possible relevance is this to our quest for Iraqi oil and Jewish supremacy?

Shhh! You'll ruin everything if you tell...

No doubt. 20 buildings and enough weapons & materiel to fill several warehouses mean nothing to the libs and mainstream muslims that choose to minimize/rationalize terrorism.

I actually saw part of the opera "Nixon in China" on our PBS channel several years ago. I watched in horrid fascination as the soprano, with hairdo and clothes exactly like my memories of Pat Nixon, sang the role of the First Lady. The guy who sang the Nixon part was made to look like Nixon, too.

There is a reason this opera isn't in the repertoire of most major opera companies. Trust me.

I agree. The 'palestinians' have a state. It's called Jordan. They don't deserve JACK! If they got what they deserve...

That was Abu Nidal I believe. Apparently committed suicide by shooting himself multiple times while in exile, in Baghdad...

Earl, you are a pearl!

Nice line, and if it was misunderstood, it is to be expected - your sublime comment was a stealth bomber at night, and just as deadly effective!

Is that a play on words or is it just anti-semitism?

The only reason the UN is more corrupt than the DNC is because the UN has more money.

Why do you think Slick Willy wants Kofi's job?

Follow the money!

LOL. Believe me I will trust you on this. As a SF Opera season ticket holder, if ever this shows up on the schedule, I will forever cancel and abstain from SF Opera.

OH, rats!

I had somehow repressed having seen part of this on PBS, and now you have stirred up the old memory banks, and out it tumbles. I will agree that the opera is icky, but I can't stand minimalist nonsense like Adams's. I prefer the Baroque and English church music.
