I am so fed up with the god damn fucking bullshit we're being handed by the "media", as well as the stupidy of most folks in eating it all up.

Sharon started attacking the PLO the minute he got into office - little wonder that after several months of these attacks Arafat sought anti-tank munitions.

Of course, Bush Jr was afraid of alienating Zionists in the US - so he just caved. The US is isolated in its tolerance of the actions of the current government in Israel.

Apparently, Sharon thinks that he will be able to live forever by the gun - He may be right, but I doubt it - not from what I know of the motive of revenge.

I think that large number of Israelis are headed for death, as its only a matter of time before someone gets hold of a really nasty weapon, and manages to use it. And after today, no Moslem state will have any incentive to prevent them.

With this Administration's policy of tolerance of this kind of crap, here in the US we're all going to go along for the ride -

A good fraction of the Israelis think that the Palestinians will just go away. A good fraction of the Palestinians think the Israelis will go away.

The only solution is a UN deployment.
