Palestinians stunned by collapse of Saddam's regime They watched too much propaganda ! Anyone see the tapes of Al Jezerra interviewing U.S. Marines in downtown Baghdad today ? Pretty humorous .... yesterday they were telling the Middle East there were no Marines to be found ! I wonder what leaders in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria et al, are thinking tonight .... all their citizens seeing what a little freedom tastes like ! JB

It will be interesting to see how many more suicide bombings take place now that Saddam can't pay the families for their losses.

<What now for the Palestinians?> Those who are hoping this humiliating defeat will end Arab inflexibility, are forgetting that the 1967 war led to the 1973 war, Lebanon, and two Intifadas. Early indications are, Bush is un-serious about the "road map. The new Jewish settlements just announced in E. Jerusalem, and the Bush non-response, indicate that colonization will continue, and the U.S. will do nothing substantive to stop it. So, Bush's recent talk about engaging, is just a smokescreen for Blair to hide behind. Both sides remain committed to military solutions, so the answer to your question is, "more of the same." <Now that their piggy bank is gone> There still remains Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria. Plus, the methods of warfare being used in the Intifada, require little financing.
