U.S. CALLS CORRUPT WARLORDS "REFORMERS"
Some Western Arabists have called Jibril Rajoub and Mohammed Dahlan a
"younger generation and reformers (or "strongmen."). A reformed
PLO official, Abu Toameh considers them crooks and warlords. (I
consider them to be terrorists, too.)
People ask, "Is America going to pressure Israel for peace?" The
media fails to ask, "When are the Arabs going to pressure the
Palestinians (fellow Arabs) for peace?" (Israel signed peace
agreements with the P.A., but the Arabs violate them.)
The US demands that Israel provide corridors to facilitate Arab
movement between Gaza and Judea-Samaria. The ostensible assumption is
that the two sections are culturally compatible. Actually, they are
not. Arab residents of Judea-Samaria laugh at the notion of visiting
the lower class Gaza. In 1994, Arafat tried to bring P.A. police from
Gaza to Ramallah. "The Gazans were kicked out in five days." (Ira
Stoll, NY Sun, 2/13, p.11.)
STRANGE REACTION?
Gaza has become "the most active terror base in the Arab world."
The world does not urge Israel to destroy it, but to appease it
(Jewish Political Chronicle, 1/2006, p.6 from Caroline Glick, Jer.
Post, 1/06/06) at least as of before the election.
ABBAS, SUPPOSED OPPONENT OF TERRORISM
Abbas released 39 Islamic Jihad terrorists from prison in Jericho
(IMRA, 2/9). Why?
WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH TO STOP IRAN
Skeptics about the efficacy of raiding Iran's nuclear facilities
argue that there are too many buildings to knock them all out. Not
all, however, would have to be destroyed, to set Iran back for years.
Demolition of several key buildings would disrupt the program. Iran
cannot re-purchase much of the material it obtained before embargoes
were laid upon them (IMRA, 2/9 from Edward N. Luttwak).
This subject has been discussed in a limited way. The occasional
articles on it reflect a writer's limited perspective. Better to get
several experts together, and thrash it out.
PARANOIA VS. MYOPIA
People have mocked Pres. Bush's warnings about evil abroad as
paranoid. Then Iran's President denied the Holocaust and vowed to
initiate a nuclear one (whose clouds drift over other countries). That
should sober Bush's critics, but they are not rehabilitating his
reputation (Jewish Political Chronicle, 1/2006, p.8 from Joseph
Loconte). They pursue partisan politics while disaster threatens. It
cripples his initiative.
