...recent weeks, that may have forced that decision on two of the region's key moderate leaders. Egypt and Jordan have seen intensifying street demonstrations and clashes with police since the current Palestinian uprising began, with ordinary citizens demanding that their governments take a tougher stand against the Jewish state. While neither state is entirely democratic, they are ultimately forced to take account of public sentiment - indeed, last week's Egyptian election saw candidates backed by an outlawed Islamist party gain 17 seats from the government, despite the government's best efforts to harass them and their supporters...
Only in hindsight does Hillary's run look plausible. New York has a 2 million-voter Democratic advantage; there would be Gore's coattails and Lieberman to bring out the Jewish vote.

There are jokes about our need for outside observers from El Salvador. But I haven't heard of any residents of the oceanfront towers in Palm Beach shouldering muskets...
