Bush is vulnerable to his own vanity

Please follow the issue as it unfolds and note how Bush and his arrogance - he now believes that he has but to suggest and no one can dare to object - ends up sadly deluded into pressuring Israel, hope fully unsuccessfully, into making concessions that would be dangerous to her survival.

Mr Bush now believes he has been given a mandate both nationaly as well as internationally. This is a very dangerous attitude for the leader of the most powerful country in the world for it will only lead to more of our "friends" leaving our side.

I fear for the next four years, both as a Jew and as an American.
