ohh it seems we've collected our first diehard right winger here. This should be fun. I neither support or dislike Arafat, he is irrelevant, the sheer bloody-mindedness of Sharon (here the latest quote "anyone dealing with the Palestinians should first inflict heavy losses on them" (that might be a slight misquote)) has driven peace out of reach other either side while Israel wrings its hands and realises that they can’t kill all of them after all. It’s a bit like Vietnam, kill them all you want but they will keep coming because they are just *far too pissed of to care* to words of the infamous General Giap come to mind
Q: how long would you have considered continuing to fight the Americans?
Giap: Another twenty years, maybe one hundred as long as it took to win, regardless of the cost. The cost was over 1 million soldiers dead.
I'm sure Hamas have read his book on how to mount an insurrection for underdeveloped countries.

So bruteforce, what's you take on the situation? Or does your name say it all?
