>>I'm sure you know enough history about the situation not to ask such a simplistic question.<<

No matter how much history I learn, it never helps me understand the answer to my question. Maybe since you know so much, you can answer it.

BTW, Americans very rarely use the word "simplistic," in my experience. Not sure why, maybe because they aren't sure the listener will be smart enough to understand that she has been insulted. ;^)

By the way, I don't have any problem condemning the massacres in the Sabra and Shatila camps in 1982. It is one of the stranger twists of fate that Sharon was rehabilitated, politically, by the recent Intifada.
