And THAT is called rewarding terror. Teaching your new borns to hate and raising your kids to be murderous human bombs does really pay off, doesn't it.
Neville Chamberlain comes to mind, Winston Churchill not.
Appeasement? Hardly. Do you not find it striking that Israel announced not even 1 hour after the Bush speech that they were ready to withdrawl in 72 hours. They agreed to this... frankly I doubt if Powell will be over there by next Wednesday.
We are giving the Israelis all the time they need. They announced it was a temporary action.
Appeasement cannot include an action by us to request something be done, that was already planned to be done anyway. Dont you agree?
Sharon just announced the action will continue - Israel knows who this puts us behind, read the speech notice how many lines devoted to blaming the terrorists, other Arab countries and Arafat.
