Phew, and just when I thought no one was going to offer up any rational ideas to calm things down over there. You kjnow the Israelis are really pushing things when the United States is openly speaking out against them. I'm not saying I'm an Arafat fan here, but it's pretty clear that if he were killed, there'd be hell to pay. However, I'd say it's pretty clear that neither side really cares that much about peace at this point; it's all about one-upsmanship.

Speaking of Arafat, it sounds like his compound is the place to be right now. Marching band, dancing, all kindsa fun shit. You know what else I'll bet they've got there? Cocaine... Tons of cocaine.
