I had heard rumors or stories particularly about Bush and Saddam on various subjects,and seem to recall hearing this one, but Anne covers it in depth.Then taking down Carlo's, before we get to the engineer,who for years had been taking down zionism,one bomb at at time.Israel no longer gets hit like this,and people should ponder just why that is....

.... At 8:56, the suicide bomber in the aisle seat flipped the electrical switch in his pocket. The heat and blast produced a fireball so intense, it separated the vehicle’s cabin from its chassis, melted the fiberglass frame, crushed a nearby car, and shattered windows all down the street. In a flash, twenty-two people were ripped apart, their limbs hurled across the street, where they landed on café floors and up in the branches of the chinaberry trees. Dazed and in shock, a young hairdresser who’d been riding the bus to work miraculously survived. “I saw fire,” she told a journalist. “I saw a woman without a face.” Orthodox men in long black cloaks appeared on the scene, carrying plastic bags and tweezers, which they used to pick up fingers, toes, and pieces of skin. Even the most hardened Israeli counterterrorism officers found the carnage too much to bear. A uniformed soldier vomited in the street. “How much more can we take?” screamed a young girl, her face and hands covered in blood. Twenty-two people were dead, fifty injured.

Reporters took to the streets, seeking opinions on whether or not the peace treaty could survive. “If peace comes only from one side, ours, it isn’t peace,” store owner Moshe Bar told a journalist with a camera, emphasizing the word ours. Susana Halperin, a passenger on the bus who had been hospitalized for burns, shared a different opinion. “I want the peace process to continue,” she said. “I want my children to live in peace.” But as the hours wore on, the ancient, archetypal desire for revenge reemerged. “Death to the Arabs!” shouted the growing crowd, as Kevlar-clad security forces worked to quell riots. In Gaza and the West Bank, vendors took to the streets, selling T-shirts emblazoned with the image of the Engineer. To many Palestinians, Yahya Ayyash was the new face of the revolution. For the Shin Bet, he was the most wanted man in Israel.
