If you are right, Sharon is a genius. The putrefying fly in the perfume is the World, especially the diabolical Condoleeza Rice and the USofA that may not allow Israel to go to war. In much the same way we in the US are expected to stand idly by while we are invaded, robbed, our daughters and wives ravished, our property carried off, the Israelis are supposed to stand by like good "chews" while the "8 X 40s" (if that's the right term) roll up to take everybody off to the "summer" camps. Two pieces of baggage apiece please, and don't forget your valuables.
The PA says it cannot accept any solution that is not reached by negotiations????!!!!!! What nonsense. All they've ever achieved they've achieved at the point of a gun!!
Let Israel settle this once and for all. All out war against the Palestinians and anyone else who wants to join in. It's coming at sometime in the future, lets get it over with whilst we have some troops over there.
Look at it this way: while the Palis launch their attacks from the "occupied" territories, what can Israel do? They are the "bully" beating up on the people they are "oppressing." But when Palis are sneaking over the wall, you can shoot them just like you do any invader. What is the protest going to be, how dare you shoot a foriegner sneaking into your county to bomb you? Sure, the French and Germans are going to say that, anyway, anti-Semites that they are. But the U.S. is in a much better position to turn a blind eye to it. It's very sad that Israel must formulate domestic policy to help give the U.S. cover, but that's the way I read this move. Stronger borders and a defined target... two big positives in the war on terror (and the Palis are part of the war on terror)...
