You have to hand it to Sharon.
He NEVER misses an opportunity to call off negotiations and resume the occupation of the West Bank....
Having more or less destroyed all civil authority on the West Bank, Sharon and Dubya's Neocons keep placing Palestinians in Catch-22 situations.
Now it's back to square one....and Friedman gets wacked in the jaw by the teeter totter once again. And of course Bush and the Neocons pledge to redouble their efforts and "kill even more Muslims."
Frankly, I don't care who "owns" the West Bank.... If Sharon simply must have it? Take it already. Expell the present Palestinian population into Jordan or Gaza or whereever. The Neocons might give the Palestinians South Dakota for all I care. But just get it overwith.... Forty years in the geopolitical wilderness is enough!
The real tipping point is that the American Taxpayer can not keep invading every Muslim Nation that sides with the Palestinians! It's not only nuts. We simply can't afford it! And it might result in more terror like what happen on 911. Was the WTC "worth" those settlements on the occupied "Biblical Lands" of ancient Israel? Not to me.....
And, isn't there "another way" to accomplish this same thing....without annexation and conquest? How Jewish does the "Jewish State" have to be.....? 100%? Why not only 70%? or 55%? After all, the rest of us are "learning to live with" multiculturalism! Why not Israel?
I would rather see the next 100,000 US troops sent to Israel/Palestine to disengage these parties, rather than sent to Syria or Iran or on a some Neocon global wild goose chase after "the evil ones!"
My advise to Bush, Condi, Wolfie and Sharon? GET REAL. ASAP.
