The only thing dipolomacy has gotten Israel is dead bodies.
Why is Arafat still alive? It appears to me that your anger should be directed at Sharon. He leads Israel, it is his sacred duty to defend Israel and he has had ample opportunity to finish the job. Don't come back with "because we told him not to" that does not wash if the elected leader of a sovereign country truly feels there is a direct threat to it's existence. Sharon is letting his country down and if he can't do the job, get someone that will. If not, then quit whining about Bush. Bush has this country to worry about and he is not asking for permission from other countries to do what he needs to do.
