You know dennis,

I just am not as sanguine as you and other posters are about all this. On face value, it seems that Bush is only acting like his father. Maybe the opposite of what the thinking here is the case. Maybe someone got ahold of him and advised him to stop his hardline for Israel because of the Arab oil. Who knows?

Sometimes I think that Gore would have been better, only because he is a fool.

I am not happy but in this real world of ours the public face GWBush puts on can never tilt too much towards Israel. You and I can both guess what goes on behind the scenes.
