Quote of the Day

“There is no surprise in Sharon’s plans. He at least has remained consistent. The wonder is that George W. Bush should rip up his own “road map,” undo 37 years of American policy, and go along with a plan that leaves the Palestinians no hope for a viable state of their own. It is not only morally wrong; it dooms Palestinians and Israelis to generations more of conflict and endangers America’s entire position in the Middle East. Friends are betrayed and moderates marginalized. Democracy and a better life will not come to the region if the Palestinians are excluded from it.”
