When has Israel ever followed through with any proposal? Why do people like Blair and Shrub constantly say, "If such and such happens, there is a real possibility that the world capitalist system will bring peace, happiness, prosperity, and glory to the entire human race"?
The amount of effort the pundits are putting these days into trying to convince us that this Sharon plan crap is a major step forward is amazing. And I hope everyone caught what Gen. Meyers said -- the increasing attacks on the US and allies in Iraq just proves how successful they have been, because it means that there is more success to be attacked. I suppose that means that, the more successful they are, the more fighting they will do. Lovely success that is!
