What makes you think one head of a country can "make" another head of a country do anything? Influence, persuade, twist a few arms, "coerce", even... but make? As in "I order you to do thus and so because we send you money," ? Not likely. Sharon has to answer to his own people first, and Israeli priorities are not US priorities. (Does Mubarak of Egypt always do what the US wants because of the money we send?) Sharon may always get a hearing with Bush, but that's a far cry from a "chain of command" with Sharon giving the orders to Bush. Got any examples?
