The president has subcontracted out our Middle East policy to Ariel Sharon, and I think that's a dreadful mistake.

If that be so, how would Pat explain Arafat? IMO, Bush should have arrested Arafat months ago. If Sharon had his way, Arafat would be a just memory.

Uh....that would be great....IF he could do such a thing. However, he can't. Sharon could....in a perfect world, and without UN interference. Of course, in a perfect world, the UN wouldn't exist, either.

The PA territories are, technically (NOT in the language of twisted diplomacy) Israel. Therefore, Israel, a sovereign state, has jurisdiction. No offence to the efforts of the wonderfully didicated IDF....you go guys!....but Israel is surrounded by enemy states, nationals of which comprise over a third of the 'Palestinian' population. Unfortunately, Israel requires the aid of allies such as the US to fend off the traditionally anti-Semitic EUroweenies who give shelter and comfort to those who wish to conquer the world and rule planet Earth under the flag of Sharia law.

Exactly. Remember when Saddam launched scuds at Israel during the Gulf War and we got them not to retaliate? That shows me who is really running the show.
