>I think Sharon knows that the Republican party is still filled with the kind of people who were in the State Department and sent a boatload of Jewish refugees back to Hitler's Europe to be murdered.< OOOooooo!!........nice job of getting in your shot at the Republicans. And here I didn't even know the State Department was staffed only by Republicans back then.......and that in spite of FDR's and the Democratic party's iron-grip on this country's politics back then. Imagine that! And lets see.........didn't FDR close his ears to the stories of death camps in Europe, and didn't Truman, a Democrat, authorize the dropping of a-bombs on Japan? Or were they really Republicans in Democratic clothing? Thanks for the obfuscation of facts. Knip

OT In 1973, when Sharon crossed the Suez Canal and was marching on Cairo, George Bush was reading the label on a Jack Daniels bottle. Sharon has already compared Bush to Neville Chamberlain, the man who sold out to Hitler, and said Israel will not be another Czechoslovakia. I think Sharon knows that the Republican party is still filled with the kind of people who were in the State Department and sent a boatload of Jewish refugees back to Hitler's Europe to be murdered. Is that true--Sharon's comments about Bush? Hard to believe. The US does not like Israel's actions at this point in time and they are being as polite as possible in expressing their concerns. Reading between the lines, I think President Bush and company are pissed about this. I would note that that the Palestinian cause is getting more and more sympathy around the world as a result of this course of action on the part of Israel. Not a commentary...just an observation. FWIW. I think all these actions will lead to some sort of peace between Israel and the Palestinians sooner or later. Political pressure (internal and external) will do the trick this time. Has to get worse before it resolves seems to be the way it is being played out. btw-I think most of the world was already supporting the rights of the Palestinians but the US vetoed many UN motions...is that correct? Curious to know how UK, France, Germany had voted on those motions against Israel in the past..if anyone knows.
