The Bush Policy continues previous administrations policies. The Palistine Question is insane to begin with, and we can thank postwar England/German/Russia for much of the debacle. But don't forget the Arabs themselves, who for 50 years, have continued to foment hate, terror, and obstinance for a hot and dusty, and otherwise undredeeming land; who, before the Zionists and Jews started working the land in the late 1800's was still just a barren land without any growth potential.

BTW--the Palestinian land is nothing more than the unwanted Arab lands, and the Palestinians are a made up population--kept around for the Arab world's political use. Why doesn't Saudia Arabia use of its many millions to make the condition of the Palestinians better? Why don't the Arab nations surrounding Israel welcome into their lands the Palestinians?

Why should the US be responsible for a regions stupidity and ignorance?That's the United Nations job, and it has been a joke in the area from the beginning.
