Knocking off those who would help you

Before Tony Blair was at risk for an assassination attempt, apparently President Bush was.

Two Arab citizens of Israel and four Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem were charged with planning to set up a network of Al Qaeda in Israel, said Shin Bet, the internal security agency. It said one of the accused, Muhammad Najam, 24, a student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, contemplated bringing down President Bush's helicopter as it approached a landing pad in the university's stadium earlier this year.

Admittedly, it appears that the Bush plot wasn't too far along. But why knock off world leaders who are committed to a Palestinian state? Wouldn't that work against those "national aspirations?"
