So in sum, cutting off Saddam's funding to the PA won't do much in itself.

So the argument by the neocons that the road to Jerusalem leads through Baghdad seems to have run into a little stumbling block here. At this point, I honestly doubt any options are going to do much for the Palestinians/Israelis short of total military conquest or physical isolation from each other. There are too many political constraints from either side of the Atlantic for a fair diplomatic resolution, and the situation is beginning to turn more into a circus freak show than a worthy cause necessitating remediation.

Nadine,

I dont think that cutting off Iraqi support will be the turning point. I think the process of cleaning house is what is important. You do not have to clean up the whole house to see progress. At some point, the momentum shifts if the world thinks you are serious. Of course, the US will have to clean up some of it's own messes too.

Paul
