The Plot to Implode the Middle East

Or that's certainly what it seems like between Iraq, Bush and Sharon's summit this week (in which Bush gave every impression of kissing Sharon's posterior), the small-scale suicide bomber yesterday, and Israel's "protective" measure of assassinating the new head of Hamas (after killing the old, old one last month).

I guess this is just another skirmish in the battle to win the hearts and minds of the Islamic world, eh?
