But he is most definitely not blowing it with the Jews this time around. His father became a partisan of Arab Oil interests. The son is not that stupid.

Paradoxically, it is this strength with Jews that will allow Bush to be the midwife to a Palestinian State alongside Israel.

If Bush can bring about a modus vivendi between Jews and Pallies, he will become a hero not only to American Jews, but also to many Arabs who are becoming disenchanted with militant Islam. It is the Arab world which may be receptive to a Kemalist interpretation of how the State and Mosque should relate to one another.
