Than whats the point of making a trip over there? Is he gonna make peace
with Sharon alone? Ya know, the Israelis and Palestinians used to live
together in peace before the British stuck there noses in the region in 1916
or 17, they should be able to live together in peace again in my estimation.
I think ANY people who have been put in the position that the Palestinians
have by the Israelis, and in particular men like Sharon, would use tactics
like suicide bombings to further there cause. What are the Palsetinians to
do? The U.N. should have stepped in when the Israelis started to settle the
regions they had captured, why did the world turn a blind eye to that? And
no, I'm not pro palestinian, just pro fairness.
