All to create a strategically defensable border between the barbaric and murderous arabs and the peaceful and productive israelies who were HIS CHARGE to protect. Nobody else would have or could have made that heartwrenching decision.

No one SHOULD have made such a stupid decision. The latest in a line of stupid decisions dating to June 1967, when Israel had the opportunity and duty to settle matters once and for all, and failed. Successive failures came in 1977, 1982 and 1993 and on and on. Appeasement after appeasement, only to bring more terror, more bloodshed. Your post is such a crock.

Ditto, minus the unnecessary last line. Also, Montag, he is still a basically decent man who has sacrificed most of his life for the safety and security of Israel and her citizens. While I strongly disagree and disapprove of his extreme appeasement of terrorists and giving away a portion of the Land, he did many good things in the past. If you're going to judge him (which is a job for no human being), then at least look at the whole picture.

montag, you're living in a bubble. Sharon's withdrawl was the most effective decision considering the constraints placed on the Israelis by the US and the international community.

Wave your fist and shriek all you like, but Sharon realizes that until the Israeli's are permitted to engage in an all out blood letting, the occupation of Gaza made no sense.
