I'm hoping that Sharon has a specific plan / agenda in mind...
I'm hoping this isn't some stupid hope that trading "land for peace" will work..
It has never worked and never will..
My thought has been that Sharon understands the Pali mind well enough to know they will be unable to resist continuing their attacks on Israel..
Sharon will then be on "high ground" when he institutes a "massive retaliation" and drives the arabs out of Gaza..
All of them..
Permanently..
never happen.
