...financing and kill them or spirit them to London to face trial. Putting aside feasibility, that would have been criminal idiocy. Another possibility was to consider realistically the background concerns and grievances, and to try to remedy them, while at the same time following the rule of law to punish criminals. That would make a lot more sense, one would think." Instead of this option, Chomsky points out, George W.

They also want him to punish those guilty of corruption. The message from the Palestinian legislature, and from the streets, is that they want Arafat, but not the Arafat they've had until now. They don't want his hands on all the levers that will determine Palestinian national life and the national fate, and they...
