"A LOT, if maybe even MOST of this would have been accomplished by just waiting for Arafat to die." So you opine. Once again this thread is not about unsubstantiated speculation or opinions stated as fact. I realize that most folks on the left will find any excuse to claim that Bush had absolutely nothing to do with the positive developments in the ME. And they will blame him for all real & imagined negatives too. That is no different than any other development here in the US or anywhere else on the planet. But then facts & reality are no longer critical to their version of reality. "Would have saved a 1/2 TRILLION $$$$ and the lives of at least 1500 dead and 10,000 wounded." So you opine again. This time in the face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately, history is chock full of evidence to show that appeasement & burying your head in the sand & hoping threats will go away consistently result in a more horrific loss of life & economic consequences on all sides eventually.
