...blame for the breakdown will inevitably land at Abbas's door - the Bush Administration and Sharon will chide him for failing to find the political will to act against terrorism; the Palestinians will chide him for being duped by them. But the problem may lie not only with the actor, but with the script: The "roadmap" has not changed the salient reality for the Israelis, which is that terrorists with no interest in a peace process can, at will, exercise the option of killing Israeli children on the streets of Israeli cities. Nor has it changed the salient reality...
...without drinking water for days. While such attacks might seem counterintuitive for an insurgency seeking popular support, there may nonetheless be a political rationale behind each: Given the high level of mistrust toward the occupying authority in Baghdad, it's a safe bet that many in the capital would blame the Americans for the absence of drinking water, no matter who was really responsible. And cutting off Iraq's oil exports leaves a massive deficit in the budget of Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority, inevitably shifting some of the burden to the U.S. taxpayer...
President Bush is doing his best to stay out of the cross fire, and who can blame him? California, with its 55 electoral votes, has foiled him and his Administration's ambitions there before.

[Genetically engineered] foods and chemicals along with the messes of sugars are harmful. Because we refuse to pay the right amount of taxes and cut what the government was getting, we only hurt education institutions. That's where the solution starts. Allen Landon New Zealand...
...Taylor held little back. He told jokes, blamed his country's troubles on foreign meddling, challenged the U.S. to help in Liberia and painted himself as a martyr who would be exonerated by historians. "Because Jesus died, we are saved today," Taylor said. "I want to be the sacrificial lamb. I am the whipping boy. It's easy to say 'It's because of Taylor.' After today, there will be no more Taylor to blame." With Blah sworn in, Taylor placed his green presidential sash on the bigger man and hugged him twice. Then Blah sat on the presidential throne...
