Arafat passed on a very good deal. That's not out fault. We helped make it happen.

do you have any statistics as to the number of "Palestinian" people various Arab states in the mid east have accepted as immigrants or refugees into their countries ? well, you can try to prove me wrong but i think that number is 0. So what are all these countries doing for their Arab cousins ?

<<<THAT is why America is going to step in! It is our moral duty to liberate the people of North Korea!!!

<<<Hey Rumsfeld you bullshitting liberator, the people living in Palestine need liberated too. There are also a bunch of other countries in bad situations -- America to the rescue!!!

what would you like America to do or not do about North Korea ?

why do you think America should HAVE to come to the rescue of the people in Palestine ? don't they have an effective leader with the initials ya ? hasn't he been leading the charge for a nation for 30 or 40 years ? well, hmm, i wonder why he can't bring home the bacon already ? maybe he is an incompetent ? oops, <sarcasm>, i love that...

Sal, I understand your frustration over the Palestine issue but calling Rumsfeld a bullshitting liberator misses the point. Rumsfeld is doing his job. When you are dealing with a world of madmen, you need someone who scares the shit of them. Rumsfeld plays that role well. He appears a war-monger because somebody has to play that role. Being politically correct amongst a world of crazies will never work.

Re America the savior, I thought this article (written last January) is a very well-written piece on the subject...
