That way the oil-enriched Arab leaders can sit, blameless, on solid gold toilets while their people live in misery. As far as the Palestinian people's misery......... Arafat has at least a billion dollars stashed away. Arafat's wife and baby live in luxury in France. Muslim/Arab terrorism and death is good business these days.

Excellent post. Actually, King Abdullah and his family live pretty well on US Aid, but he is our "ally" so I suppose it's "worth it." He certainly is head and shoulders above (not in height LOL) the other tyrants and OILogarchs. It is time to bring a strong move for peace. I'd like to see Israel take a bold initiative. Some times the best negotations are when one is the strongest and after killing the Hamas leaders, this may be that time. The timing is good as Bush may want to pull a Clinton and get peace, particularly as he is getting more bogged down in Iraq.
