...opinion in Egypt, Jordan and among Palestinians is far more hostile to Israel than are the political elites who interface with Washington. President Mubarak, King Hussein and Yasser Arafat would have had a hard time concluding their peace agreements with the Jewish state if they had to answer, in short order, to an electorate...
...want to look down because the short bald man in front of you would surely feel your glance reflect off of his cue-ball head. You can't look out the window because, well, you're underground most of the time, and when you aren't, you can only look down toward the grass because you are taller than the windows.
