Sidney Blumenthal's version of what has been going on. As I read it, I kept saying, "Wha? Wha?" Let me add my "Wha? Wha?" to you yours. To quote the Simpsons, jumping Jeebus on a pogo stick. Is the British Left now as insane as the Saudis? Do you think Bush talks like this in summits, ""God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them"? What crucial help, exactly, was Bush supposed to offer Abu Mazen, when Abu Mazen couldn't even get control of the PA security services? Shoot Arafat for him? But hey, we all know that when Mideast talks fail, it just has to be the fault of the Americans or Arik Sharon. Because, well just because they are the Americans and Arik Sharon. Though the Greeks were often tutors to the Romans, Macmillan neglected to mention that the Greeks were slaves. Oh yeah, that must be why the Byzantines proudly called themselves "Romaioi" - Romans - for a thousand years after Rome fell in the West.
