Agreed to that... 25 years old kids born there ( either Israel or Palestine) have never seen peace, only fighting for land ( Fletch XXX is right on this: it is all for land !) . These politics applied by a military strong country onto a near prehistoric state population cannot help to achieve peace.
I also find that Israel is double talking: In the same paragraph, they manage to say they will abandon settlement, and later on they say they will double others...
You are right: I don't like Bush ( as well as 45-50% of the US population / and near 70% of the world population) so I do not feel lonely. I am divided on Israel because of Sharon ( a war criminal). Too bad Israeli terrorist killed their own prime minister...
AS for the US, I love the US and most of its population ( make the difference between Bush and the US: not the same fucking thing!!!).
