3 Responses to “George Bush’s Odd Notions About Checkpoints and the Holocaust”

   Actually I think Bush ended his quote with something to the effect of, “I don’t think it would be as easy for the average Palestinian” (to get through a checkpoint).

   Still rather facile but I must say it beats Hillary, who visited Israel a couple of years ago and, standing at a watchtower, announced that what Americans need to understand is that the wall isn’t about oppressing people, it’s about protecting people.

   I like your post above on Obama – best hopes for a more balanced American policy.

   This post reminded me of the 2004 incident described by this article:

   Bush is pretty obtuse, no doubt about it.
