Bush has decided to go along with Israel's demand that Arafat be bumped from the peace process. He is threatening to end aid to the Palestinians if they re-elect Arafat. "I've got confidence in the Palestinians, when they understand fully what we're saying, that they'll make the right decisions." But then he warned, "I can assure you, we won't be putting money into a society which is not transparent and corrupt and I suspect other countries won't either." Well put, from the leader of the land of Enron, WorldCom, and Florida elections.
