Blackmail. Fifty million is merely a modest beginning, and they're sure we'll pony up many more millions. How long before Bush realizes he's been had? How many innocents have to die? The Palestinians don't know the first thing about setting up, much less running a civilized country, and, frankly, they have no desire to learn. Every failure, and there will be many, will be blamed on the evil US and the Jews and will serve as another opportunity for blackmail. It doesn't take Kreskin to read this crystal ball. They'll get hold of nukes, and then we'll stop playing patsy.
