Sharon himself referred to the need to end the occupation of the territories.

That's a reasonable position. What is unreasonable is expecting Israel to sit idly by while its citizens are targeted.

Bush has clearly and repeatedly stated his intention to establish a peaceful, viable Palestinian state. Did you think he was lying?

Not at all - indeed I believe he wants that very much. I simply question his methods.

Yes. And, in turn, it's unreasonable to expect the radical elements among the Palestinians to sit idly by and accept more civilian casualties as mere collateral damage.

People are always questioning this President's methods. Yet he manages to get a hell of a lot more right than he does wrong.

Peace between Israel and the Palestinians would transform not only the Middle East, but the world. It would incalculably enhance our own security and prosperity, and it would do the same for Israel. It is a most worthy goal, but it will require tremendous sacrifices on both sides.
