Is that what's meant by "bloviating"?

That is one hell of an article. It doesn't jive with the facts, but then Liberals don't have to base their arguements on truth. Reminds me of those articles I had to write in high school, which had to be so many words.

On the serious side, their is that marvelous interview done by Brit Hume of Fox (that's the newschannel that isn't owned by the Arab lobby) with Mr Ross. No one in the world knows more about what was offered, by whom, and who did what, when. The simple truth is their was a deal, and it was an American deal, the Israeli's including Barak accepted the Palestinians accepted and then presented it to Arafat. He alone, to the shock of Clinton and his own staff, rejected the deal, without any reason given, no more talk, he was through. He did not want peace accordng to Mr. Ross. Based upon that fact, one ought to have the decency to stop pushing Israel towards a situation where they must appease one who cannot be appeased. It is ludicrous, even a child knows you can't appease a bully.

Sometimes a fancy degree from a fancy school is just a cover for the fact that someone does not have even a shred of common sense. Mr. Falk has richly proven that point.

To add a note to my previous post about this posting from Richard Falk, this article is just excellent. One might disagree with parts of the argument, but it is the kind of article that pushes thoughts much deeper than the usual fare on this thread.

Unfortunately, I put up my first response based only on a quick skim. A thorough read shows this is a good bit more than just a counter voice to the right.

Thanks again, scott.
