Hmmmm? What if President Bush - already knew the Road Map wouldn't work ...?? What if he did it just to PROVE that the Arabs don't want a separate state - what they want (and have always wanted) is the destruction of Israel.

What if Sharon knows this too ...?? What if Sharon and Bush have agreed to do this to PROVE once and for all that the Arabs have no standing ...?? What if the whole thing is just an opportunity to give Israel an increased right to defend itself ...??

Now ... don't misunderstand ... this doesn't mean that Bush wasn't sincere in his desire to have peace for Israel and the Palentinians. However ... our President is a realist - I'm confident he has no illusions about what Arafat and his minions are doing.

As I said in post #7:

<< "President Bush is a Good Man and a Great American.

And would be the first to recognise that to err is Human.

And to acknowledge his Human falibility." >>

On many occasions I have referred to him as the Ju-Jitsu President as a mark of considerable respect for his unerring ability to use other peoples' self-perceived strengths to tie themselves in knots and rip off their own legs and arms.

So, maybe you're right.

God knows the Egyptian murderer, Daschle Arafat's, Trans-Jordanese/AKA "palestinians" are likely prime candidates for arm and legless runners up in a Ju-Jitsu contest with World Champ, President Bush!

I really hope you're right, CyberAnt.
