Bush: Iran Has Replaced Palestinians as Key Mideast Focus

[Observer-UK] In an interview published on Sunday, President Bush said: "We need more sanctions.

It does not need the instability that comes from an innate fear that the West is not strong enough or willing enough to take on the problem." "When you go to the Middle East and you sit in my seat and listen, yes, there's concern about the Palestinian state.
