#2 Sorry, but as much as I admire and respect President Bush, he did NOT "condemn this action in the strongest possible terms". That would be done by telling the Israelis "My government is going to be very busy on domestic issues for the next few weeks and probably won't even notice news reports from anywhere else. By the way, could you have the IDF field-test these new, improved Daisy Cutters for us? Thanks."

#4 Unfortunately Chris, vagaries such as, "strongest possible terms" seems to equate to the final scene of another of my favorite movies, when the U.S. agents tell Indiana Jones that the ark was in safe hands, and top men were looking after it...

Indy: "Who?"

Agent: "TOP...men."

and we all know how that turned out. Life imitates art, I guess.
