But the dismaying--alas, not shocking--partis the continuing efforts of the State Department to soothe and buffer the Palestinians. They kissed up to Arafat long after they knew that he had personally ordered the execution of an American ambassador. “I find it incredible that at every turn the Palestinian Authority asks for independence and at every turn it seeks to be excused for its failure to exercise its basic responsibilities”

The same article is on Culture for All (my website), and there is a link to your post on this matter. Thank you for posting this extra information. It is scary to think of the hardcore Arabists in the White House. I just hope that justice prevails. Hi Meryl!

Someone ought ask Condi if she is willing to sign over her salary and retirement from the government (as a leader of the State Department) to at least pay the funeral bills for the victims of her Arab friends.

If it's just a stateless terrorist group then they should be held liable for reparations. But if they are a state, i.e. something we can declare war on, and can legitimately attack and be permitted to make collateral damage, then they're probably immune from prosecution. i.e. nobody can sue Germany or Japan over losses in WWII.
