Bush's speech and support for Israel should be a slap in the face for the Arab and Palestinian people. Bush portrayed Israel as a peaceful country being victimized by its violent arab neighbors and forced into wars against its will. Bush verbalized that Israel is fighting for its survival and declared unconditional support for whatever action Israel takes against its enemies. Bush congratulated Israel on its democracy and recommended it as an example for all in the Middle East. BUSH SENT A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT COUNT ON THE US FOR FAIRNESS. ALL ARAB COUNTRIES SHOULD BE OFFENDED BY BUSH'S SPEECH!!!!!

zionists are the root of all evil:

The letter of Yusef, chief of the Jews of Constantinople that laid out a plan of infiltration and subversion of Christian Spain

Asked by the Jews of Spain how they could resist the King of Spain who was forcing them to convert or even killing them, Yusef replied:

Where you say that the King of Spain would convert you to Christianity, do it because you have no alternative. Where you say that they deprive you of your property, make your sons merchants so that little by little you can take theirs. Where you say that they are robbing you of your lives, make your sons doctors and apothecaries so that you can end theirs. Where you say that they are destroying your synagogues, make your sons clerics and theologians, so you can destroy their churches. And as far as your other troubles are concerned, make your sons advocates, administrators, lawyers, and advisors, and let them take part in affairs of state so that you can control those affairs and gain land.

He forgot to mention media, but it’s understandable by that time

He needs to keep his yap shut before the U.S. ends up in more hot water. And why all of a sudden does Laura need to accompany him - want to get in as many trips as possible before the end of his term from hell?

Bush has done nothing for 8 years except to preach, and call for conferences. The time to get the world to settle its differences was at the end of 2001, when we had the world's attention and sympathies. Too late now - if this A!dministration had a tombstone, 'Missed opportunities' would be as appropriate as anything else.

I wonder if in 10 years he'll be galloping around like President Carter, trying to put out everyone else's fires.

Bush has given the world a major event to look forward to - his departure.
