I actually think the author of the Seattle Post Intelligencer editorial was quite balanced with his comments... <<...Sharon, attempting to capitalize on U.S. and Bush administration hostility toward terrorism in the wake of Sept. 11, has attempted to equate Osama bin Laden's crazy anti-American actions with the longstanding Palestinian struggle. It is all terrorism, the Sharon talking line has gone and, therefore, we must kill all suspected and would-be bombers, wherever they may be but particularly on the West Bank. Arafat, for his part, has pretended to be unconnected to Palestinian suicide bombers when in fact good intelligence indicates he has sponsored them. Both, of course, are radicalizing and hardening opposition on the other side...>> I thought it was a well written editorial that might cause folks to question things a little more...I condemn all violent acts that impact civilians (in Israeli discos or in places like Jenin). I don't think Sharon OR Arafat can take the higher moral ground. Bush and other U.S. leaders need to be very careful about how they label things....JMHO.
