The difference is who is now standing behind it. That's something the Israelis have never had, a strong US president who will keep his word.

Don't kid yourself.. If PM Sharon wants the additional $10/B in loan guarantees promised to him in foreign aid from the United States, WHICH WAS FROZEN BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, he has to comply and bend for GWB, and convince his government to do so also.

Bull. If Sharon wanted to, he could pull another "We won't be another Czechoslovakia" speech, and the evangelicals would go nuts. I was angry at W the first time we went through all this, I thought he was too harsh on Israel, but I think he's learned his lesson. And, like a previous poster said, the world has changed a lot since then. We are now the real power in the region, Syrian and Iran will be a lot more cautious concerning their actions.
