Take note America…your American soldiers are caught in the blistering desert sun, watching their buddies being cut down…[ask the] guy on the other side of the counter…He’ll say, “You guys have every right to kick ass.”… any regime that supports that kind of terror is fair game. And, you didn’t have to spend months groveling, spinning stories and convincing Kofi Anan and Europe about your intentions…Disaster is emanating from the eminent Saudi regime.

It’s a given here in Israel, that cab drivers and kiosk owners have a certain political acumen. If you’re ever confused about what you’ve been hearing on the local radio station or been reading in between those first sips of morning coffee, just hop into a Jerusalem taxi. After a 12 minute ride, you’ll emerge with the clarity and insight of one who has spent 12 days at an ashram in Tibet. The only difference being that you’ll still have that nervous twitch in your right eye and knot in your stomach.
