#6 The Arab world is in a serious bind of its own making, precipitated by Bush's actions in Iraq as much as by Israel's assassination of Yassin.

#9 That saddest thing is all the delegates who spent the last year thinking up some really devastating moustache curses.

#10 Shipman:

"Is this the new standard in speed of collapse?"

Perhaps. IMO it is typical of Arab "civilization": over before it began.
