Searle, I personally don't care if the US is a superpower or not. All I want is for much of the rest of the world to stop criticizing US constantly while at the same time lining up for favors: trade, aid, and political approval. The Palestinians were cut a good deal by Clinton. It is impossible for me to find a single rational reason for their failure to sign the deal and run. Their leadership was extremely stupid, shortsighted, unrealistic, and self-serving--can't have a cause without unhappy people. Too many of these hacks like Arafat, Jessie Jackson, etc, live their cause--if things actually improved significantly they would have no purpose. The Palestinians will now settle for far less. Far, far less.

Searle though i strongly feel that this last confrontation could of been halted immediately by the USA when it was at sticks and stones stage. I feel the legal rulings at that time were violated. At this stage Israel is amounting to two very angry old boys. Sharon locks Arafat in his room and because Sharon has the strength of numbers to do so, what ever blow he provides the impact is felt with the result being Arafat's anger increases. You have two kids here that are in worse political shape than the US. When one speaks of dissention in a nation or a break down of the morals of a nation one usually is addressing power that has gone beyond law. The term lack of moral could very well be applied to the Arab Nations, as well as the US, as well as Israel. Jenin, I think Sharon is saying it is none of your business what i do in here. I'm de gawd at this end of the world. Ben Laden it is none of your business that i use my money to create war and not job growth for my people. It is easier to hate you than fix us. I am de gawd at this end of the world The Us uses Arab oil has Arab investment uses Israelis tech and has many people from Israel as well as Palestinians living here. The US also has a long standing problem with Saddam. I am de gawd now stop this. Morals have become a world problem and the US is part of the world. We can blame this on the fact man considers himself de Gawd of all Gods. He-- of a way to start a communications as well as possible currency break down isn't it?

SA I responded to your rationale from opinion base a view of mankind's blunders. The logic of your reasons when taken in conjunction with world perception and gold is superior.
