its quite obvious that the residents of Gush Katif can take the moral high ground today. they were right.

there is no way to avoid it.

*however* - it took that level of pain to proove it to the rest of the world. said as it is, but Ariel Sharon was a master of strategy , and thats what he had in mind. stand back - see what happens…

and to be honest - he was right. Foreign countries are not condemning Israel so much this time round - INCLUDING the Arab states. notice how the Arab states are pretty quiet?

short term, Sharon was wrong. long term - he was right.

No. He wasn’t. And foreign countries wouldn’t need to be condemning or not condemning Israel if there simply wasn’t a “this time around” because there would have been no opportunity for the terrorists in Gaza to become even remotely this sort of threat if not for the “disengagement.” Short term, long term, even many of its former supporters have now realized that it was, at best, a gamble, a bad bet that has been lost at a horrific cost that hasn’t even begun to reach its limits yet. This war is only one of the dividends.
