Derek, you can't be serious. You must know that's not true. <For decades we followed a policy I would think you would approve of - non-interference.>

Also, what about the Jewish road's attention? How about the American freeway's thoughts? The Arab street's attention was diverted by the proxy war. The Jewish road's attention is diverted by the proxy war against Saddam.

<Arabs don't really give two shits about Palestinians.>

Could you explain the fine distinction for we neophytes between Arabs and Palestinians? I thought Palestinians are Arabs.

<<Osama bin Laden only belatedly discovered Palestine, after US bombs started falling on his cave. Even Arafat said so.>> bin Laden is not organized around the Palestinian homeland issue. al Qaida is not focused on Israel. Iraq WAS very involved with Palestinian and Israeli issues. Iraq was an Israeli national security problem, but not a problem for US national security.
