Known By The Quality of Your Enemies

If Hizbullah wants you killed, you must be doing something right.

Palestinian Authority security officials on Wednesday expressed fear that Hizbullah and Iran were planning to kill PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in order to thwart attempts to revive the peace process.

The officials said the fears were based on recently-obtained evidence that Hizbullah was urging Fatah and Hamas activists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to renew their terror campaign against Israel in a bid to undermine Abbas's authority.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Abbas and am willing to grant him quite a bit of wiggle room when it comes to his words and deeds. If only he can stay alive long enough.
