...These countries don't suffer for being rude - they are celebrated for it, and their economies and tourist industries are booming. So why not learn from our foreign friends and make our own special brand of rudeness part of the "American experience?" It could be a real windfall. We can export t-shirts emblazoned with "America Says You're An Idiot!" decals. Or mugs that burp when you finish your drink. Or those foam fingers with one particular digit extended.

Most Palestinians are neither terrorists nor involved in terror-related activities. When Israel invades Palestinian refugee camps, blockades Palestinian towns, and demolishes Palestinian homes, innocent people suffer for acts that they did not commit. This is one of many insufferable tragedies of war. The only effective means that Israel has to stop terrorists is to find them and kill them before they strike, and this necessitates the invasion of Palestinian territory; Israel certainly cannot rely on the PA or Arafat, and it cannot rely upon terrorists to heed the words of Bush or U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. Israel...
