So far BUSH is 0 for 3 in the MiddleEast.
First, the Palestinians refuse have a cease fire.

If, the Arab ministers are correct about Bush's definition of terror, then why is Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aqsa on our terror list? If they are incorrect, why can't they even listen, I don't mean agree, but listen!!! |
