No, I believe I addressed that point by asking how the gent in 
question becomes a "moderate".....and that definition is an integral 
part of the overall issue......

Agreed. It was a clumsy effort to avoid having to state the obvious, 
to wit, that "terror attacks", the likes of which trigger these retaliatory 
actions, do not occur spontaneously, but rather, with the full 
knowledge and authority of the PA (or certainly its "inner circle")...

The plight of the Palestinians is indeed a tragedy, forged partly out 
of the necessity of locating a "jewish homeland", but also by the 
craven political ambition of Arab leaders. But as far as the notions of 
"subjugation" of "ejection" go - where did the VAST majority of 
Palestinians who were "ejected" from Kuwait following Desert Storm 
finally land? Where did most of the Palestinians ejected from Jordan 
after Black September go?

Regarding the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority being a 
"secondary concern", tell that to imprisoned journalists and 
dissidents, or the surviving members of their families - or perhaps to 
the myraid of Palestinians whose futures have been hamstrung by 
their leaders' greed......

and the question remains - to whom is Yasir accountable?
