We are a people with no army, no navy, no air force, no arms. It's people, thousands of people, who are feeling, sensing the sense of urgency, fearing for the president of their life - the life of their president, trying to protect their democratic choice, because Arafat is the elected leader of the Palestinian people.

An oil crisis looms, prices are spiking - and our president is extolling algae.

Truly, this earth is a trophy cup for the industrious man. And this rightly so, in the service of natural selection.
