You mark my word. Jenin will live in infamy as a senseless slaughter, and unjustly so. Sharon will always be linked to this "senseless slaughter" just like he was to the one in Lebanon. And truth be known, he probably wasn't the complicit individual in that affair that he is made out to be. The media works it's wonderous magic and people are tarnished forever.

You just watch. Five years from now it will be a given that Sharon is the Butcher of Jenin.

Unfortunately it won't take any 5 years or revisionist history (and further lies from the press) for the world to paint Sharon as a butcher.

I'm afriad that the press may have effectively done so already. I hope I'm wrong.

But a case in point... I have a close relative (typical liberal) who vehemently ranted and raved the other day and is convinced that Sharon needs to be tried on war crimes (even going back to the Lebanon invasion).

He's taking the liberal talking points and following em hook, line, and sinker. Once his mind is made up the Carville, Donaldson, Jennings & co. are all spewing truth, then he's completely numb to truth and facts (& for that matter logic).

I'm afraid we've got a whole country of those folks. Hope I'm wrong... but am deeply concerned I'm not. Let's face it.. unfortunately the world (outside the US) hates Israel and there's only a large continengent of folks in the US keeping it from being hunanimous. May God continue to protect Israel.

[and yes: Heaven forbid there be the murder of innocents or attrocities... no, that would be as wicked as the other side.] Don't think that those who support Israel want to give them carte blanche to wipe out any and everyone else. No siree.

IMO: As far as I'm concerned, all Sharon has done is defend his countrymen (against the grain of most of the countries of the world).
