George appears to be manipulated by Sharon. Ariel Sharon is one of the world's most willy political charlatans alive. He actually has George Jr blaming the Palestinians for having their own lands stolen. Neither James Baker nor the Clinton adminstration unilaterally blamed one side for all problems. Any yet that is exactly what George Jr has done. The victim has been blamed for his own plight.
The first step to Palestinian peace is the removal of Sharon. During a Clinton speech in Davo (NYC), Peres is said (in the NY Times) to have made a most interesting comment. Peace could have been obtained if they had just had enough time. Sharon single handly lead a country wide irritation intended only to entice another intafada - to destroy the peace process. That intafada in progress today still unfortunately only plays into Sharon's hand. That intafada eliminated any moderate Israeli political ground while empower right wing extremists Jews - also known in a UN conference as some of the world's worst violators of human rights. (Sharon does care since he has already massacred thousands of women and children without any outside objection).
And so lies the problem. The victims of human rights violations are blamed by Bush for those violations. Go figure. No president, except George Jr, ever did that before.
No president should have to tell Israel, et al to go piss up a rope. Simply making Jews equal to Palestinians would put those anti-humanity extremists in their place. But George Jr does not do that. Clinton did. James Baker did. George, Jr only understands what Sharon has been telling him rather than see the whole story. Clinton's NYC speech is said to have addressed those issues without naming names.
BTW this subtitle from an The Economist article I will read soon: "George Bush's hit-list could have been written by Ariel Sharon". Clearly no accident.
The only question remaining: Is Geroge Jr so unintelligent that he has become a puppet of Sharon, or were George Jr and Sharon really both educated in the same right wing, extremist sandbox.
