Ironic Wisdom Of The Day

      This time from the blinkered words of Bill Safire, the great Republican apologist and would-be authority on language: "Let the Palestinians show they are ready to be a nation and not a bunch of warring factions." Fair enough. Now when will the Americans do the same?

      And, no, this isn't a defense of Arafat: but, let's face it, this truly is the pot calling the kettle black. And Americans wonder why the rest of the world winces at the hypocrisy? Don't preach that which ye cannot exude.
