#1 From the above article I conclude:
1.) it is all right with the religious leaders if a MUSLIM committs rape, torture, theft of a country's resources and religious suppression of other muslim sects if the alternative is a democracy that is enabled by the US. Who do you suppose supports these muftis if not the dictators and brutal rulers of these countries?
2.) considering the way the Palestinians seem to reason, maybe the Saddamites and Palestinians deserve each other. The Paleos do seem to have a real talent for picking the loosing side.
3.) Would anyone, let alone Blair and Bush, ever WANT to go to Palestine? Sounds like punishment to me. On second thought, maybe there is a new use for all the human shields that wanted to (at first) be part of the Iraqui defense system. If the Isralei bulldozers and tanks didn't get them, the PLO would. That way there would be some good out of all of this for everyone!

#2 If President Bush and Prime Minister Blair have in fact been banned from the Church of the Nativity(and there's some question as to whether they actually have), this Christian urges Israel to storm the church if the Palestinians ever try to occupy it again. And they might as well knock down the Al-Aqsa mosk while they're at it.

#3 I think that was the last straw. I believe our next course of action should be a military campaign through Syria to Lebanon, followed by the total resettlement of Palestinian Arabs in the inhosiptable and empty Sinai Peninsula. The borders of Israel should be re-defined to what they were in the original Balfour Treaty, and any Arab attempting to change them should be dropped from the belly of a B-52 at 52,000 feet.

Egypt may object, but there's always the threat of a "dirty nuke" on the Aswan Dam to "persuade" them to assume a different tack. I am really sick to death of the islamofascist "imams" and their "fatwas". We should bring them to Baghdad and show them what an American Fatwa looks like. Islam, the "religion of Peace", needs a house cleaning.

#4 Let these folks fall on their swords from humiliation once the job is done in Iraq. Making policy based on fantasies is the Palestinian and too a great degree, the Arab govt's/people's way. Remember the Madrid Conference took place ONLY because the Palestinians/Jordanians had no place to go in the wake of their support for Iraq after GWI. If we have a spine, we will insist that THEY will have to adjust to the new realities of a post-war Iraq, and thus new ME situation. Let's not take our cue from Old Europe appeasers. Their idea is for us to go running to them for advice on ME politics since we will have had our way in Iraq. They believe this tit-for-tat is only just. HUH? George and Tony: Don't go wobbly

#5 Another day, another fatwa. (Yawn.) I'm starting to think it doesn't mean "religious decree". It seems to be more appropriately translated "temper tantrum".
Although, I do like the twin coffins with UN and Arab League on them. Even the Palestinians realize they are dead ducks.

#6 Why don't these unbelievable a**holes put up, or shut up - if they're so keen on dying in Baghdad, why are they 'demonstrating' in Ramallah?... Baghdad is some number of miles east if memory serves guys... You may need to ask for directions in Syria, but you'll get there - if you want, we can have the Army and Marines wait for you, so you won't miss the party - what an incredible bunch of crap this idiots spew - if you're willing to 'sacrifice millions', get to it!!! we're waiting!!!...
