And FYI I think just about as lowly as Arafat as I do about Sharon. Both Scum of the earth. The difference is that the Israeli people voted Sharon in as a direct counter to the actions perpetrated by Arafat and those he apparently is unwilling to, or incapable of, controlling. And Sharon can, and will be, voted out when the threat of such violence has been eliminated. Because folks would rather see their tax money going to social programs than military and security expenditures. Unfortunately, the Palestinians will have to wait for Arafat to die before they can alter their political leadership. Hawkmoon

It takes only one enemy to breed a war, not two. The Israelis made a good offer (and a very painful one, from their point of view) to Arafat, and got a war instead of a counter-proposal. That is the fact. Who started it? What were the strategic objectives? What would it take for peace to be a more attractive option than war to either side? These are all relevant questions regarding the situation and its possible resolutions.
