" I’ll believe in the significance of Bush’s Middle East peace efforts when he demands that Sharon start dismantling settlements. Until that happens, all of this talk will be another wasted opportunity and will leave the Palestinians feeling even more betrayed — and alienated — than before. I swear I hate the guy, really, but Arafat’s right. Sharon is playing Bush like BB or Buddy Guy with a Fender Strat."

How is that an "Israel firster" position?

The American "Israel firster" vs the Brit "America firster"? How tedious. However, even in his current supine state, I would bet on Hitchens to make cream cheese of the Alterboy. The Hitch once had speed, wit, and power. Alterboy never did. jks
