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. Unfortunately, all these people have Yasser Arafat for a leader. Every successful nationalist leader, at some point in time, has to turn to his extremists and say, "We're going to have to settle for half a loaf here". This is exactly what Arafat has never been able to do. Instead he tells every side what they want to hear -- compromise in English, jihad in Arabic. And surprise, surprise, no one trusts him.
