Yeah, riiiiight. That's where our war on terror is focused, on America. Strange, then, all that mucking about in Afghanistan. One of us musta been hallucinating.
Yes, Bush has been bracketing out Palestinian terror in a number of ways, but remember: Bush is a patient man. He doesn't overfill his plate, but he does wipe it clean. We're already going back for seconds (Iraq), and Palestine may turn up on the menu yet. In the mean time Arafat has been rendered a political nonentity, and America has made it resonably clear that no Palestinian leadership associated with terror will be allowed to form a state.
