I wasn't suggesting you actually agreed with the idiot I linked to, but I was trying to show the direction you were headed.

It seems to have been completely erased from human history that the Arabs--fully armed Arab nations, not Palestinians living in camps--attempted to utterly exterminate Israel three times. Three times. This can affect a nation's attitude in many ways.

As for Sharon being a "prize," Arafat started this latest intifada before Sharon was elected, and had the Palestinians not done so, it is likely that Sharon would not be prime minister now.

You remember Barak, don't you? The moderate? The one who tried to make a deal?

A deal was the last thing Arafat wanted. Now he has an Evil Leader to rail against, which serves his purposes much better.

Through a number of Israeli leaders, and a number of American presidents, from all across the political spectrum, the only variable in this mess that hasn't changed is Yasser Arafat, and I would think people would get a clue at some point.

        there still is humiliation and oppression and that does breed violence. - FrankC - 4/8/2004 7:25:13 PM
