I've got no time for Arafat. I don't think I've a lot for Sharon either.

Those two really are quite the pair of worthy adversaries, and it's the citizen population that has really suffered at their hands. I doubt the Israelis are dupes, they've seen what a "success" the Sharon administration has been at providing security for them, and I think he's going to be gone soon. One could only wish the Palestinians could come to their senses about what Arafat has done for them in all this time as well. They're being used as cannon fodder in the goal of the destruction of the Israeli state, and it just isn't going to work.

I really think nonviolent resistance would have won the cause of a nation for the Palestinians some time ago.. Non violent resistance doesn't work against a Saddam Hussein or Kim Jong, and it won't work against militant Islam, but it can function against a democracy, which Israel really is.
