George Washington led a "gang of thugs", from King George's viewpoint George Washington obeyed the orders of the Congressional Congress and was lionized around the world as a second Cincinnatus, very rightly so, when he not only made no grab for absolute power (which he could have gotten easily) but voluntarily transferred power to John Adams at the end of his term. I am really not amused by efforts to compare a mafioso like Arafat to George Washington. Looks to me like all of Jericho ends up on the Israeli side (25,000 population, with adjacent refugee camps). For the entire Wall, total 50,000 is my guess. Sorry, that's really absurd. Why would they do that? Note that Jericho is one quiet spot in the West Bank. No attacks, no occupation. The Wall is no cure, only a palliative at best. The cure is to have a peaceful regime on both sides.
