Well I’ve said a lot of nasty things about him, or at least about his policies, but here’s a big bravo for his latest efforts for peace. The roadmap for peace has about a 5% chance of succeeding, but if it does it would be most important thing any president has achieved in years—crucial for countering terrorism also. He has no political capital to gain from this since most of the people who voted for him oppose the roadmap. Anybody else impressed by this? The only other thing I liked about his presidency so far was when he sent me that $300 cheque a couple years back. But this I REALLY like. Go Bush Go. I’ll give my $300 back if you succeed.

i think i may have overstated my case earlier, but my main point remains the same. the war in iraq changed the face of middle east politics and it continues to change… i currently have high hopes…

I don’t think I’ll be returning my $300 to Mr. Bush anytime soon. The failure of the peace plan in Israel goes to show that people just don’t know how to read maps…road maps that is (bad joke).

After Palestinian militants killed 3 Israeli soldiers yesterday, Israel retaliated by bombing large Palestinian urban buildings and targeting specific cars in the midst of busy traffic—killing and injuring hundreds of non-militants in order to kill a few militants. I’ve been watching this situation for a long time and have never seen it so bad. I’m really sad about how everything has gone to poo in Israel since the 2001 peace talks failed.

How about a new post just to talk about Israel/Palestine/Arab world. I have some questions, but they don’t seem relevant under a “I like Bush” heading.
