A couple of telephone calls from Ramallah to the EU foreign affairs executive, Javier Solana - and $30 million was forthcoming to rescue the January payroll. The Europeans will just bleat about the PA buildings they financed that were demolished rather than take a hard look at where a good chunk of the money has really been going. I still think this anti-Israel stance in Europe is off base. Year in, year out there have been more Algerian deaths from Islamist terrorist activity there than from the Intifada (at least till very recently), but you don't hear nearly the same outrage. Why not?

EU foreign affairs executive, Javier Solana .... is this the fourth Axis of Terror? I certainly hope we can just drop a few daisycutters to stop European-sponsored terror, because that nation-building stuff won't work on folks who keep devolving into baboons. It's funny, too, the common perception about poverty breeding violence..... Arafat blew $50m in the past month? I don't think he even got 50 Israelis murdered with that.... with that type of cost effectiveness he could be CEO of Enron. I'm not really trying to make light of the situation but I just can't understand why the EU has chosen the role of Little Lord Nancyboy appeaser throwing meat to the toothless pit bull of the Middle East.
