For comic relief

Steven Erlanger: "With American support, Mr. Fayyad, an economist, is trying to create stability, security and a working model of productive life in the region that can provide an alternative to the vision of Hamas." Did I hear you right? "working model"? Dahlan and the crooks who run the Ramallah collaborationist regime, and who run Fayyad like a tool, are creating a stable and transparent model for the region? Who do you talk to? What do you read to get a sense of public percpetions?
