Sorry Ari, but Sharon is right on the money. If we are going to screw our real friends to pacify our questionable fair weather friends, it will be to our everlasting sorrow.

I think both groups need an ultimatum...Either the fighting ends now, or both are TOAST! Neither seems to be able to honor their word in peace agreements, and both constitute a threat to peace. I do not like our country standing behind Israel regardless of what they do.

Think of it like this. If you cut and run and leave a bunch of wacko Cuban mercenaries in the lurch at the Bay of Pigs, all you do is make a bunch of wacko Cuban émigrés really really mad at you.

But if you cut and run and leave the Israelis in the lurch surrounded by the Islamic Revolution, then pretty soon strange mushrooms will start growing in the desert. Really, really big, bright mushrooms...
