There’s a particularly good article in the latest U.S. News & World Report that describes the true state of affairs in the Palestinian Authority. It runs on money… and none of it’s honest.

Also in this issue (the print version), there was an unusually graphic picture of a dead body being removed from a blown-out bus by an Israeli burial squad… a victim of a terrorist bombing. My immediate reaction was a little bit of repulsion and annoyance that the picture was in there. Then I realized that there should be more of this sort of thing… not sensationalistic or overkill, mind you. But I think it’s important for those living the good life here to see the real face of terrorism. It’s not some oppressed, down-and-out person looking for vengeance and glory. It’s a normal person, riding a bus… bloodied and dead.
