Rice played down the fallout from last week’s bus bombing in Jerusalem, stressing that “despite the horrific events in recent days, we have seen progress toward peace for Israelis and Palestinians.”

Israel's population is 6 million. USA population is about 40 times larger. This bus bombing in the USA would translate to 800 dead and 4000 injured. How long would we tolerate our citizens being murdered in such numbers?

Hey dennis, that pro-rata Netanyahu math can be dangerous stuff if one is fairminded and intellectually consistent enough to allow it's application to areas that run contrary to one's angle/worldview/arguement.

The guys I've seen float it on talking heads programs are lucky no one has shown the stones to flip it back on them.

To inflict that much mayhem, it would take the equivalent of over 70 NYC buses simultaneously bombed at the height of rush hour. If it could be proven that terrorists just across the border had committed this act, at the direction of the Canadian government, a state of war would exist.

Yet Israel is supposed to "fulfill" a laundry list of "obligations" in the face of such carnage. Screw you Madame Rice.
