"Bush and Sharon are both wrong."

I'm sure they know better than you and me.

If they say it's best for Israel to leave all occupied lands, I believe them.

The whole notion of "occupied land" is a fiction.

There was no Israel and no Palestinian Arab state prior to 1948. The "border" was not an internationally recognized one, rather it was the 1948 cease fire line. Egypt took the Gaza Strip and Jordan the West Bank. They "occupied" territory that was not theirs from 1948-67.

The cease fire line was the "border" for a total of 19 years of the 57 years since 1948.

The 1948 cease fire line will not be the final borders.

Current U.S. policy is that this territory is subject to negotiation, and Israel will keep a good portion of the territory beyond the 1948 cease fire line.
