Mr Bush's rebuff highlights a fundamental division between the US and Britain over the Middle East: the US sees dealing with Iraq as the priority whereas Britain sees the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the priority, either to be tackled first or, at least, alongside Iraq. Seems there's no stopping the Bush war machine.

Violence continued yesterday, with Israeli police charging into one of the holiest sites in Jerusalem - known as Temple Mount to Jews and Haram as-Sharif to Muslims - after Palestinians dropped stones on Jews praying at the Western Wall. "dropped"? doesn't that make it sound innocent, a normal cultural pastime? I mean, what business have the Israeli police to get upset, just because people praying at the Western Wall are getting stoned from above?
