CNN.com - Arab summit adopts Saudi peace initiative - March 28, 2002: ""It has been shown that when the United States pushes Israel toward a compromising position, they will listen even if public opinion is affected by what the United States is doing," al-Faisal said. "This is the time where sense must be talked into (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon. The war and the conflict is in his head. This has to be removed...." [It's wonderful how lack of knowledge of the language brings out truth: a "compromising position" is just what the prince wants. And how comforting to know that the conflict is all in Sharon's head, which must be removed...]

"The Saudi foreign minister condemned the deaths of 20 civilians in Wednesday's suicide attack in the Israeli coastal town of Netanya, but placed blame on the Jewish state for inspiring the attack." Truer blame was never placed: Israel inspired the attack - by its existence.
