Furthermore...Sharon doesn't have much choice in this.
We are about Israel's only significant ally. If we withdraw our support, Israel is doomed. Sharon is no fool, he knows this. What I have trouble understanding is why we are not treating Palestinian terrorism the same as Al-Qaida terrorism, or any other terrorism. What makes one worthy of retailiation and the other not? And don't tell me because it hasn't happened here yet. We should let Israel deal with terrorism like WE deal with terrorism.

From what I understand from people who have been there, Arabs live quite well on the West Bank for the most part. It is Arafat (according to them) who is causing more trouble than the Israeli army is. I'm getting so sick of the crap happening over there with treaties and pacts and deals (none of which come to fruition) that I'm about to push for letting Israel finish this once and for all.

Brian steps off his soapbox and takes a deep breath
