That's it? That's all it was, a 'you scratch my back I'll scratch yours?

Before the war with Iraq, I thought Bush was telling Sharon to back off on Arafat until we stabilized more countries in the Middle East.

If this article is accurate, Bush was calling for restraint from Sharon to satisfy the Arabs.

If this is true, Bush is a fool. He has given the go ahead to the terrorists and the Arab nations who are not our friends. They will not stop at Israel and we will be next. Again.

Sure, Bush tolerates terrorist well. He's a fool, all right.

you're overestimating the palesinians. sharon can make any gestures he pleases--because the israeli position is written into the "reservations" to the agreement with bush's roadmap. meanwhile the palestinians keep blowing things up.

this thing is no different from any of the other "peace processes". The only question is who is the onus on when the "peace process" fails.

sharon is doing his bit to make sure that that finger does not fall on him--or Israel. He serves Israel's interests well.
