" It's obvious that Sharon hates the Palestinians and cares nothing for them as human beings."-- PAT
When I feel like a rock sinks and sticks to the bottom of my stomach, I feel sick.
Then, I know that something going on around me isn't right.
I think you have similar feelings.
I don't believe Sharon would have ploughed through the Palestinian territory without
permission from George W. Bush, because the US provides Israel with money and
weapons. I feel strongly that Sharon will kill Arafat because Sharon has a history
of war crimes. W never talks about those crimes, does he? Sharon was responsible
for the slaughter of approximately 1700 Palestinian civilians in September 1982.
Last May a court in Belgium let him off the hook for those crimes.

Since Bush refuses to give the Palestinians the right to defend themselves, we might wonder how they will fare under the Bush Doctrine which calls for "benign domination of the globe," a term recently quoted by Bill Keller in an article about Paul Wolfowitz in The New York Times Sunday Magazine. Keller wrote that Wolfowitz is noted for his brilliant intellect and logic but "benign domination" strikes me as a contradiction in terms. In fact, the term implies that people all over the world must subordinate themselves to the whims of the Bush White House. (I've included a reference to the Keller article at the end of this post.)
So, when Woolfy, W, Rummy, Condi and Cheney chat about "benign domination", it reminds me of the way Americans thought about their black slaves b4 the Civil War. I don't believe The Bush doctrine implies equality or promotes democracy. Bush says you do as I say. Or else.
What will happen to the Palestinians? I don't believe Bush is very interested. B4 I answered your post about the Palestinian conflict, I skimmed the news. I found an article in the Guardian that discusses the notion of transfer. In short: kicking the Palestinians out so that Israel can form a safe nation. For instance, the article mentions that Sharon may use the US strike against Iraq as an excuse to expel the Palestinians.
I had never heard of the notion of "transfer" b4 even though the
British and others have supported it in the past.
Hope you are well, Pat!
Best wishes,
Mephisto

"benign domination of the globe"
"In 1992, in what would turn out to be the last year of the first Bush administration, Wolfowitz, then under secretary for policy in Cheney's Defense Department, presided over the writing of a new ''Defense Planning Guidance,'' a broad directive to military leaders on what to prepare for. An early draft proposed that with the demise of the Soviet Union the United States doctrine should be to assure that no new superpower arose to rival America's
benign domination of the globe"
