What specifically are you disappointed in. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH has done nothing to prevent Israel from dealing with the terrorists attacking them. I would also expect that Colin Powell is laying down reality to Arafart. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH's approach undermines all rhetoric suggesting America is Anti-Arab and Anti Muslim. Do you recall all the retarded garbage about PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH's handling of the China stupid pilot. It was handled deftly with no compromise in American Values. This is the case with Israel. In this case I see no compromise in any essential values. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH is far more informed about what Israel and Arafat are doing and I trust his judgement to follow the right and moral course. tom watson tosiwmee

Yes, I agree completely with your comments. I would like to add, Israel had already shown its ability to act in good faith by vacating settlements and giving up land for a negotiated peace with Egypt and Jordan, all done with out the use of terror. The same was possible with Arafat, but he blew it. I think he must be a bit like Robert Mugabe, first a terrorist, then a freedom fighter and now a despot. Arafat got the rights of Palestinians recognized in a world forum and he was definitely on the road to creating a nation for Palestinians, but he lacked the character of a Nelson Mandella and Pres. Botha to take his people to the next stage of peaceful coexistance with Israel.
