John, with all due respect, I believe you are highly overstating the role of Sharon in the current problems. The intifada was planned to begin with his trip to the Temple Mount, rather than as a response to that trip.

An extraordinarily, highly debatable proposition. We've all taken sides on it and I don't expect there is anything to learn by redebating it.

As for the rest of your post, Bill, thanks. We are on different sides on this issue. I see both sides as culpable and the dynamics driving both to extremes. You see the Palestinians as the lone side at fault. So be it.
