Bush, Kerry: Stop cuddling up with Sharon

[physioex]

I have to agree with what this author is saying. We need a more even handed policy....

NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
NEW YORK TIMES

George W. Bush and John Kerry disagree on almost every issue, with one crucial exception:

They both compete to support a myopic policy that is unjust, that damages American credibility around the world and that severely undermines our efforts in Iraq.

It's our Israel-Palestine policy, which has become so unbalanced that it's now little more than an embrace of the right-wing jingoist whom Bush unforgettably labelled a "man of peace" — Ariel Sharon.

American presidents have always tried to be honest brokers in the Middle East.

Truman, Johnson and Reagan were a bit more pro-Israeli, while Eisenhower, Carter and George H. W. Bush were a bit cooler.

But all aimed for balance.

Bush tossed all that out the window as he snuggled up to Sharon.

1. For some reason Bush like Sharon's lap.

I sometimes think Bush is trying to bring this country to its knees and why would he do this?
