#1 My only expectation is that they'll try something spectacular. Expecting a big boom.

#2 I think our expectations are lower than the Palestinians ... because of our experience with Palestinians.

Well said.

Further, I don't know why anyone is kidding themselves about any "Palestinian" state.

#7 They don't give a rat's ass about a state, why should we? They'd rather murder each other and beg for UN handouts than build a country. If they could act like human beings and at least try to improve the land that they do have instead of fixating on land that they lost 40 years ago they might find that even the Israelis would be more apt to listen.

#10 Palestinians' expectations low for Bush visit

Look for the White House & State Department's Language artists to whip up a batch of righteous sleep apnoea inducing .....

Grist A) It is untenable for Israeli citizens to live in terror. It is untenable for Palestinians to live in squalor and occupation.

¿occupation? isn't "regulating a bunch of squatting psychopaths so they don't murder us", a better descriptor?

Grist B) 2002, In the situation the Palestinian people will grow more and more miserable. My vision is two states, living side by side in peace and security. There is simply no way to achieve that peace until all parties fight terror. Yet, at this critical moment, if all parties will break with the past and set out on a new path, we can overcome the darkness with the light of hope. Peace requires a new and different Palestinian leadership, so that a Palestinian state can be born.

...and the bees will kiss the sheep's knees..

I myself am gonna go out on a limb and predict that the Prez will use the fabulous woid *democracy*.. somewheres in his wonder-bar Address!

Post Visit a week from now... sure as shit stinks the stinking paleo murder culture will be unchanged..

Semper Gumby Guys

#13 But that's the easiest way to find out she isn't worth the effort, RD. The rude ones never are. A pity the State Department hasn't made that correlation.
