#2 Well, it looks like Sharon may not have reason to pause just yet. Keep watching.

Note well - Yousef et al are not doing this to be kind to US or Israel - theyre doing this for the sake of their OWN power. These guys seem serious - they want to run their own STATE. Not just a revolutionary movement, like Yasser. STATES must establish a monopoly of force within their territory, and thats what these guys are doing. This is the long awaited Pal Civil War, except not as bloody as some expected.

They should get on with it then. No use keeping all the rest of us in suspense as to the outcome...

#7 these guys are al aqsa? how much are they getting paid extra for being temporarily inconvenienced? after all, being detained for 24-48 hours can be pretty irritating.

#8 So according to the article above this one, the Israelis are holding Zacharia's brother and they are pointing the finger at Zacharia for orchestrating / attempting the largest car bomb in the last 4 years. Innnnnnnteresting!

you are, of course, correct. I did not mean to imply that it couldnt become a bloody mess. Merely trying to indicate that just cause we didnt see large amounts of blood now, shouldnt prevent us from seeing that the dynamic we've been predicting so long is now taking place.

Whether this justifies popcorn or not is up to y'all. I would say time to break out the popcorn - to me the struggle was what i was waiting for, not the blood.

#10 "..fired into the air..."
I believe that may be a euphemism for "fired but missed".

#11 LH - fair enough lol, I've just staked a lot of (archivable) statements and self esteem on the Paleos turning medieval on each other before they gain a national unity of purpose. I don't see a "Five Families" solution to this Cosa Nostra....

#12 If the al-aska er al Aqsa Martyrs Brigands are permanently jugged, then there will be a civil war. If they are given the revolving door treatment, then the Israelies will start the wacking process. Either way, the PA is going to have to deal with these guys to stay alive and in power.
