I don't think that we'll cut the aid to Israel. This threat is only a diplomatic slap on the wrist, to show Sharon that unilateral actions will not be tolerated.

Even though Israel should defend her self, and Arafat should be removed instantly, our defense plan cannot accomodate an even angrier Arab population.

It's bad PR you see. When the anger over Iraq subsides, then Arafat will be dealt with in a manner becoming of his position as a leader of a people.

Marginalization of Arafat is going to take covert action by the CIA-Mossad. His own people must reject him. If he is killed or ousted by force, the perpetual violence of Palestinian terror will increase.

I think Bush and Sharon have a plan here.

Post 69. Another good point here.

I hope that Dubya ain't emulating his grandfather Prescott Bush.

Prescott was a major backer of Nazi Germany before, and during the war.

Lets us pray daily for Dubya and Powell to do the right thing for Israel.

May God bless Israel and keep her shining her light of hope in that dark area of the world.
