Good Middle Eastern News or Not

This got me really excited at first:

Latest Answer To Mideast Crisis: Fix the Economy

A former World Bank chief is betting that the Mideast conflict could use not only a political settlement but also an economic one. Now charged with fixing a beleaguered Palestinian economy, he believes prosperity will encourage peace.


(Read it here if you subscribe to wsj.com.)

A plan to make it easier for Palestinians to create wealth as they say as the path to peace in the Middle East, more precisley, between the Palestinians and Israel. (In the old days, the era before W, "peace in the Middle East" meant only peace between the Palestinians and Israel. Now....)

Then I caught myself: Western capitalism hasn't done the job there yet, at least not where it matters: Iran; Saudi Arabia; El-Qaeda; Indonesia. Then there's Singapore.

Western capitalism is exactly one of the fuels for the Islamofascist terrorists.

It's nice that the lives of an insignificantly small number of Palestinians will be improved by this plan but peace betwen the Palestinians and Israel? Don't think so.
