I love it! The fact that Sharon was found by Israeli courts to have directly met with the leaders of the Phalangists and agreed to send them into the camps, and that the courts found that it was practically impossible to be unaware the Phalangists wanted to perpetrate a massacre - these facts don't faze you one bit. I'm willing to bet that the even more damning facts that the courts have thus far kept sealed won't faze you either. Tom

Neither Belgium nor anyone else has indicted Elie Hobeika, who commanded the Phalangist troops, as a war criminal. As I keep saying, when Arabs kill each other, no story. You don't have to believe that Sharon is a nice guy to believe that he didn't anticipate that the Phalangists would go out of control. The ramifications of Sharon's having allowed a wholesale massacre of civilians -- just within Israeli politics -- were entirely predictable. His enemies demanded his head, he lost his job, and his career was over (everyone thought). It took Arafat to reelect him.
