law student suicide bomber...

the female suicide bomber that murdered 19 people eating in a Haifa restaurant, was a "trainee lawyer".

proof positive that this is how the PA trains new lawyers.

yet another reason why there is no 'partner for peace' in the palestinians.

if they can't manage to train lawyers to value the rule of law, how can Israel trust that they will ever construct a legal infrastructure to deal with its terrorists?

In retaliation, Israel struck a terrorist training base in Syria.

the arab league is meeting over possible responses, and things aren't looking very good.

while everyone knows Syria is the biggest sponsor of terrorism outside the palestinian territories, I hope Israel knows what it is doing by escalating the conflict, and knows that Syria could retaliate with Saddam's missing weapons (Syria provided an avenue of escape for the WMDs in january and february, before the US invasion).

things could get really ugly.
