I am not sure what this means, but over the long haul, I don't think the Bush foreign policy or war in Iraq is the driver for what is going on here. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on for almost 60 years. It would be going on regardless of Bush. St. Clinton couldn't solve it, even when he got Israel to agree to a future death sentence. The future potential was too grey for Nobel Peace Prize Winner Arafat.

Hiding? How do they get there? How do they stay there over a 20 plus year period? They are part of the population and they have a shared goal in mind. The destruction of Israel.
And I suppose Hamas is hiding amongst all the moderate peace loving Palestinians?
