As a well-read chap, I'm sure you know about all the congress criters who 'warned Bush' about not pressuring Sharon on Bush's road map to peace. Are you for or against Bush's American road map?
You may also count on Hamas and Hezbollah and the other homicide bombers to see to it that there will never be an agreement or a peace settlement. You can also count on the Palestinian leaders to do nothing effective as to HAmas and as to Hezbollah. One need not do much reading. A glance at TV news with body parts flying all over Israel from the scum who are regarded as Palestinian "freedom fighters" will suffice. We are not the big dog on the block for nothing. Enough of restraining Sharon. It is time for him to do what comes naturally. As a general, he understands that a military response is to kill those who need killing and destroy their property. For how many decades more should these Palestinian maniacs be tolerated? Why should they be rewarded.
American "road maps" to peace are pantywaist diploschemes to postpone the inevitable. Bush has never shown the slightest inclination to pressure Sharon while the Palestinians continue their pattern of violence against the innocent. Lord willing, he never will.
