I don't see GWB's actions as protecting Arafat so much as protecting Israel from an even worse opponent. Who would you propose to replace Arafat as the Palestinian leader?

On the other hand, I view Buchanon's calls for Arafat's ally Castro to be aided by lifting the Cuban embargo as a call for an action that harms Israel directly, as Cuba is where Palestinians are recieving their explosives training.
