The Gharkad Trees of Gaza Offer No Shade

CNN published an article a few minutes ago: “Palestinian leader dissolves government amid infighting.” While I'm still pretty ignorant of the social and political powder-keg that is the middle East, even I can see the dark tidings. Some twenty years since inception, it apears Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya will succeed in controlling the Gaza strip; hard to believe the whole grisly series of events have unfurled in my lifetime. I can hardly wait for responses from the State Department. Not sure where Rice is at the moment, but I'm sure she's happy.
