DETROIT -- Democratic presidential candidate Joe Lieberman was heckled Friday by several Arab Americans angry with his support for Israel as he spoke about restoring peace and trust in the Middle East.
"What about the wall?" shouted several attending the Arab American Institute leadership conference as they interrupted Lieberman's speech. The reference was to Israel's plan to build a barrier that juts into the West Bank.
Lieberman, who is Jewish, insisted the wall is temporary.
"I regret the confiscations," said the Connecticut senator, referring to the Palestinian land that has been taken in the effort to build the wall.
Which is still not to say he wouldn't be an improvement on Bush.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Lieberman's extra efforts were in vain and will remain so as long as he takes the views on the Middle East that he does.
