Palestinians could be forgiven for thinking that their shortcomings have been singled out for harsh treatment. Palestine, said Bush, needs a "new constitution" and reform based on "market economics." That's hard to argue with, given the shambolic state of the Palestinian Authority, but Israel doesn't have a written constitution and for decades had one of the most socialized economies outside the Soviet bloc.
