#1 One thing is for certain, OBLadin did Islam no favors by attacking the USA. Where once we were ignorant, we have now begun to focus on the Islamic World; and though our hate is slow to build, when in full flower it is much scarier than the Muslims could ever expect. In other words, Ali you ain't seen nothin' yet.

#2 "Solving the Palestinian problem is the master key to solving all the problems of the region and to spreading democracy and peace," he added.
And, pray, how does this resolve the Saudi's problems? First Mecca and now Riyad?

#3 Paleostine will not get better until Arafat is dead and the ineveitable Civil War takes place - real Paleos have to get rid of the hate and victimhood and decide to improve their lives with what they have, not what they want (Jews pushed into the Med). First things first...how ya feeling Yasser?

#4 The American democracy is arrogant and offensive, and this is reflected in the picture of the American soldier trampling with his boots on an Iraqi citizen who is fasting during the month of Ramadan. This is similar to the daily killings of Palestinian children."

I think we just found Terry McAuliffe's successor.

#5 Raj - LOL, he couldn't do worse.

Fred, you were posting yesterday about the likelihood of us bringing democracy to the ME. I don't know whether we can or we can't, but it does seem to me that every time Bush says the D word people like these guys start running around like cockroaches after someone turns on the lights.

"Lemme see, if we had elections I'd probably get elected to be ... well, can't let that happen."

#6 here's a thought: how about a nationwide 5 year mortorium on buying middle east oil? we could still get plenty from mexico and russia.

#7 I would force Egypt, Leababnon and Jordan to naturalize all the Palestineans that have been born in their country and allow them to won property. The naturalization would be optional. The money that goes to keeping th ecamps open could be paid to those governements for a number of years.

#9 The Paleostine Civil War should be happening within 6 months, I would imagine. Seriously, the leasers in the PA know Arafish is killing any chance they have of peace. It's no longer a matter of establishing a state. It's a matter of survival.

Those who wish to save Paleostinian live will rise against Arafish. The rest will be to loyal to the dying PA. In the end, there is just one question thos PA leaders have to ask: Who do you serve, Arafish or the People?

#10 "How can we believe those who support the killing of our children and youth in Palestine and Iraq?"

Hey, I thought he was talking about Bush, how did that reference to Arafat get in there?

"We have been trying to hold elections for a long time, but we failed because of the Israeli occupation," which he won't let us do - if we occupied Israel, all would be OK!
