I can't believe Matt Drudge had Buchanan on last week, showing such admiration for him. Buchanan could not come up with any logical reason why Sharon shouldn't be allowed to walk on the holy Temple Mount any time he wants without starting an intifada.

Going back in history, there have been periods when all non-believers were welcomed up there by Muslims proud to show off the beauties of their holy places. At other times, any Christian or Jew showing his face on top of the Holy Sanctuary/Temple Mount was subject to violence. Islam can be a religion of peace, but the reaction to Sharon's visit shows which type of Islam, at least in Palestine, is now ascendent.
