I can't imagine how this is coming as a surprise to anyone. The Palestinian terror orgainizations aren't satisfied with JUST butting heads with the Israelis, so what do they decide to do? CIVIL WAR!! Let's go out and kill each other! That will DEFINITELY make the world respect us!

 Fatah and Hamas exchanged gunfire and punches in two Palestinian towns yesterday after (reportedly) Fatah had attempted to assassinate the PM of the Hamas party, Ismail Haniyeh.

 Seriously, I understand the poverty level is probably one of the highest in the World. I know the people are suffering under the feet of the political leaders; but come on. How in the world does anyone expect to ever take Palestine seriously as a state when all they want to do is fight, kill and maim.

 It's happening all over the Middle East. Iran's on the verge of rebellion, Iraq is in shambles, Afghanistan can't tell it's head from its butt. Lebanon and Syria are at each other's throats. Lebanon and Hamas are at each other's throats. Israel, Palestine, and on and on.

 My first and foremost instinct is to support the U.S. mission over there. Do what's right and help these people get on their feet...that ideal is seriously countered and attacked by the fact that these Dark Age dumbasses want to do nothing but cut people's heads off. AND it apparently doesn't matter if its American heads, Westerner heads or even their own heads.

 Screw the common misconception that Bush hasn't done his job in Iraq. These extremists people are lawless, uneducated morons who's ridiculous sense of justice is only overshadowed by their grasp on the  unbelievable belief that perpetrating these acts "In the name of God" is going to get them sent to Heaven!

 It is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with someone like that.

 Bring on the FlexFuel; Draw down on our reliance to Middle East oil and get us the ***K out of there.
