I posted a similar comment on another thread earlier. And the point was made, why should the Jews lower themselves to the level of the Palis? The Palis (and outsiders) wouldn't "get it". We stopped them from making a grave mistake, to our credit and the Israelis.
Of course, if you hate Bush, then what we did was wrong, no matter how it may have saved the Nation of Israel from retaliation by neighboring Arab countries. Always good to have those knee jerk reactionaries around! Gotta get that poke in at Bush and his Cabinet any way we can!
Bush has let Prince Abdullah take him down the garden path with the demand that the Israel/Palestinian situation be settled before they will cooperate with the war on terror. He should have sternly rejected that demand from the outset.
So this is your idea of success, RBA? In that case, my congratulations on your success in this episode! When your assistants who direct this kind of activity start doing it in your own city, perhaps you and your family will experience a similar 'success'.
