And, even if it was in fact wrong, does Sharon's visit justify suicide bombings?

Let me be clear....I dont think Sharon's visit is either a justification or a cause of the suicide bombings.

The reason why I look at the circumstances/motives surrounding his visit is to get a better idea of what type of man Sharon is. As with Arafat, a determination must be made as to how sincere Sharon is about peace.

Obviously, Arafat's credability is nill....but the question for Bush is how much can he trust Sharon? Will he be willing to negotiate in good faith and make the sacrifices that would be necessary for peace?

Of course, the nice part about the Sharon side of the equation is that the Israeli middle would throw him out of office if they thought he was bypassing a chance for peace.
