If this President is able to liberate Iraq, rein in the ayatollahs in Iran, rout al-Qaeda AND take meaningful steps toward an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, isn't that worth asking Sharon to show some restraint?

The same restraint we are (rightfully) unwilling to show ourselves?

Look, I am as "pro-Israel" as anyone on this forum, but it is insanity to ignore the context of these attacks (and, for that matter, the context of the attacks against us).

Sharon himself referred to the need to end the occupation of the territories. Bush has clearly and repeatedly stated his intention to establish a peaceful, viable Palestinian state. Did you think he was lying?
