Maybe a lot of Palestinians don't want to live under a Taliban type system - that's what bin Laden is offering.

I've spent the past couple of hours reading pro-Palestine websites that don't seem to be run by lunatics. I expect that their view of history is biased, but their goals seem far more modest than the goals bin Laden is preaching. They want land, houses, jobs, schools, not Holy War.

Apparently our administration supports the idea of a Palestinian nation - the question is how to implement it. I don't blame the Israelis for not wanting to embrace this particular enemy, due to the intransigence, but there are radicals on both sides.

They seem bitter about the fact that the Israel government invests in Israeli areas but not Palestininan areas. That surprises me - - what do they expect?
