Crash & Burn

InstantReplay is offering stock in the Road Map for Peace. Price: $0.00. Stick a fork in it, folks: Mahmoud Abbas resigned today, and Israel tried to assassinated Big Cheese Ahmed Yessin, the spiritual leader of Hamas (BBC story). Look for the U.S. to pressure Arafat to reject Abbas' resignation in a bid to keep the Road Map on life support. However, with Israel going after Yessin, Hamas has nothing to lose, and will use all the power they have to kill Israelis.

Yeah, so it's good to know that the Middle East is in responsible hands...
