Bush did not advocate wiping the Jews off the face of the earth and leveling every synagogue in Israel. No wonder the "Palestinians" hate him.

Its official. The Palestinians have told the President Of The United States in not so many words, "F**k you." And we're told they want peace. Yeah right.

It's interesting how the Telegraph can look at the same Bush speach, read (rather than ignore) the same PA statements, and come to such a different conclusion than most other editorial pages have today. Accurate too.

Their decision. They get to live with the consequences.

Absolutely,Positively,They Will Live (or Die) because of those 'interesting' decisions also.Sometimes it's so hard to take the blinders off, but if you're willing to kill yourself anyway,and they are,what's the point of agreeing to anything?The POTUS has given them more chances than they've earned,and you can't make people stop hating and it's not going to start now,even if you gave them everything they want.Perhaps the President can see this now.

"He called on Palestinians to create an accountable, democratic government - something rarely found in the Arab Middle East. Rare? Name one." The only one is Israel. Some people include Turkey. Turkey, although islamic, is not arab, however. Interestingly, Bahrain has been moving toward democratic government. Bahrain is small, but influential because it is a financial center an is home port of the 5th Fleet.

Yes, I knew that, but silly me, I was thinking maybe if Clinton didn't bomb the shit out of people every time he got caught with his pants around his ankles, maybe, juist maybe, they wouldn't hate us so much.

But, who can tell. They might.

We are too busy trying to run the world. We ought to tighten our borders, and take care of our own.
