With President Bush in Isreal, it is interesting to read the papers from that region. The Jerusalem Post had this story about some interesting signs that had been posted prior to Bush's visit. Apparently they were hung by a nationalist group that doesn't want to see the halt to Israel's settlements in the disputed Palestinian territories. I think what the President is doing over there is a smart, pragmatic, and strategically beneficial move. I just wish he would have focused his efforts on this problem versus Iraq. I believe the settlements issue is the key to this problem. If the Palestinians feel like Israel continues to expand into their territory, they will continue to use violence as a means to make themselves heard.
