Bush is also willing to put US troops in harm's way between Israel and the Palestinians to either keep the peace or hunt for terrorists should the peace be broken. This is an amazing change, out of step with previous Presidents. Both Democrats and Republicans continue to underestimate this President, but all have learned to listen carefully to what he says because they know he means it and will do rather than talk if pushed. It will be interesting to watch Bush deal with the Islamic terrorists who want all Israelis dead and Israelis who hope for peace but cannot trust the Islamic terrorists around them.
