  An opinion poll published by Newsweek on 7 October showed that a majority
of Americans saw the need to changed American policy towards the Middle
East. In fact, a considerable majority of those surveyed by Newsweek
thought that the American relationship with Israel and its policy towards
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as "a major motivation" behind the
September 11 attacks.

 Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed considered America's ties with
Israel was behind the attacks on New York and Washington. On the other
hand, 46% said that America should change its policy towards Israel to
prevent further attacks on the US.

 Regarding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, 54% of
those who adopted a position on the issue supported the idea while 45.83%
opposed it.

 As for the yearly American financial aid to states in the Middle East, 52%
considered the US$ 2.8 billion a year to Israel as excessive.

 Mr.Ghasan Al-Khatib, a prominent Palestinian political and media analyst
told the Palestine Media Center (PMC), "This is a very important
development; it is the first time that American policy towards Israel
becomes a topic for public discussion".

 Mr. Khateeb emphasized, "It's important that Arab and Palestinian
intellectual take part in this debate to try and change the American public
view about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict".

Thought for the Day:  (...how times have changed...!)

"The NATO alliance plans to send five European radar planes to help protect
the East Coast of the United States from attack...The deployment of AWACS
aircraft, four-engine planes outfitted as flying radar stations, is perhaps
the most unusual manifestation of the division of labor emerging among the
NATO allies.  The joint cooperation will place European troops, ***in this
case Germans*** (emphasis added!) in charge of securing the safety of an
American coastline.
