"Colonialism at its worst" if you don't mind....

And exactly what was the original "Jihad" let loose by the Arabs in the 7th century? A bus tour to Spain and Poitiers?

And how about Iraq's claim that Kuwait is its "19th province", when in fact Iraq is an artificial country with borders arbitrarily defined by the British??

I would suggest that Arabs are MORE PRONE TO COLONIALISM AND CONQUEST, than are the Israelis. After all, the Israelis, in the face of Egytian provocations have conquered the Sinai TWICE, and given it back both times... What territory have Arab conquerors ever given back without a fight??

And since there are more Palestinians in Jordan than there are in Israel or the West Bank, doesn't Jordan already qualify as a Palestinian state, once the Hashemite rulers are forced to abdicate??

And as for "rolling in it", why don't you take a gander at your Arab Princes. CNBC had an excellent 4 part interview of Prince Waleed this week and showed the lap of luxury the fellow lives in.

And then look at the disparity of lifestyles between Saddam Husssein and his people (except the Takrits)

The Palestinians have the right to "assert" their claim for a Palestinian State, just as the Israelis asserted their "right" against the British and Arabs in 1948.

But neither the Palestinians or Israelis have a right to exist unless they are strong enough to maintain that right.

And that goes for the rest of the world... The only right to exist as a nation/state is the ability to kick the other guys @ss harder than he kicks yours.
