The Wages Of Smart Diplomacy

Palestinians have vandalized a banner bearing President Barack Obama’s image just days before his visit. 

The Palestinians tore down the banner, hurled
shoes at it and spray painted it with swastikas.  Associated Press TV
video showed a taxi driving over the banner before it was set on fire in
the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Monday. 

Video broadcast on Israel’s Channel 10 also showed an official Palestinian Authority car driving over the banner. 

Obama arrives in Israel on Wednesday.  He heads to the West Bank Thursday. 

About Me

I was born in Tombstone, Arizona, but moved to California in 1959 when labor strikes at the copper mines devastated the Arizona economy.  I've been moving north ever since.  Pullman is as far north as I care to live and I'm looking toward reversing the drift.
