There are going to be plenty more stories about atrocities in Jenin, and the world is going to call it war crimes. I believe that Sharon will be called before the international court of justice for this.

This is just the beginning.


Perhaps, but it all seems more like Lebanon '82 than anything else to me. I just hope the US end of it is better managed this time. Faint hope, I fear.

You're getting way ahead of yourself, prejudging alleged acts which in no way can reasonably be said to be established to any certainty. Like you did when you breathlessly said that you believed a priest, who turned out to be a possible Palestinian sympathizer, when he said that Israeli troops had entered the Church of the Nativity and were shooting it up. Turned out to be a bogus report. Turn off the emotions and turn on the brain, it'll save you a little embarrassment. And don't believe 1/2 of what you read.

I've preached about the need to be cool about these things. Emotions are high, the Palestinians are everything but dispassionate, and there is a lot of misinformation. A perfect recipe for making incorrect assumptions by those who bite at the first reports before the facts can be ascertained.
