Interesting coincidence. Arafat gets his freedom at the same time the official Palestinian number of those killed at Jenin drops to 56, which puts it in line with the Israeli position. Maybe negotiating this deal was what held up the resolution of the stand off at the Arafat corral. Meanwhile the Scandinavian UN official, who also claimed that a massacre must have aoccured at Jenin is being investigated on taking a bribe or inapproriate gift, somethng like tht..Ain't life full of coinidences?

It kinda stops you in your tracks, doesn't it? Unlike Israeli tanks which nothing stops. Not children, pregant women or old men totering along. Colin Powell tells the nation that he doesn't see any evidence for a massacre. How is it a military force can level a village of houses full of people and not kill the people inside? Are they smart bulldozers? Or not so smart bullshit artists?
In the last ten years while Iraq hasn't been allowed to import lead for its pencils ( at least their children aren't dying of lead poisoning )or chlorine to purify the water, Israel has been raking it in. Money, of course, but also weaponry. This week Israel is putting in a request, ( sending in an order) for another $100 million. That must be back up to fifty F-16s before 911 and fifty after, 1.2 billion to pull out of the West Bank the last time they invaded, and a major surveillance system for exiting the Golan Heights. With great fanfare we were told of Israel's exiting Lebanon - well sort of exiting Lebanon, they're still in the Shebaa Farms and once again violating Lebanese airspace. At this date they can fly 3000 sorties a day compared to the U.S.'s capability of 1600 sorties day. It is now common knowledge amongst plankton that Israel has 200+ nukes but nevertheless, the world must be spared the indignity of sharing the planet with Saddam Hussein. Tom Brokaw even ran out of scathing remarks about him except to say that Saddam has his picture all over the place. Tom, so do you.
It might be wise for Americans to wake up. We are increasingly isolated on the world stage. Combining shrill demands for protection for our steel while steadfastly showing absolute contempt for the international law, global war on the Muslims, and blind support for the State of Israel no matter WHAT IT DOES! It almost looks as though America's leaders want to destroy this country.
