Sharon keeps cancelling talks with Arafat - despite Bush's appeals to 
move forward on the peace front. He always gives the excuse that the 
violence has not stopped. He acts like every stone thrown by millions of 
angry people, is his fault. Also the Israeli military targets Arafats 
governent offices and police stations for rocket and tank attacks. 

Shimon Perez, Barak, and of course the guy that was assasinated, are at 
least interested in peace to some real extent. Sharon is an evil guy. I 
would be afraid to have him as a guest of the White House as he has been 
twice in the past months.

Why can't the Israelis see that it is in their best interest to have 
peace. A prosperous thriving Palestian homeland would be the best buffer 
against terror. Who wants to commit a suicide bombing when you have a 
good life? No one. But who wants to, when you have nothing left to lose? 
... ergo you see what is happening now. There is only so much you can 
oppress and crush a people until they react as they have.
