Maybe Bob Herbert read my post yesterday! His analysis of the situation in Iraq, applies equally well to Israel/Palestine, as Sharon once again foolishly sends his tanks into Nablus and Jenin.
“Beefing up the American occupation is not the answer to the problem. The American occupation is the problem. The occupation is perceived by ordinary Iraqis as a confrontation and a humiliation, and by terrorists and other bad actors as an opportunity to be gleefully exploited.”
“The U.S. cannot bully its way to victory in Iraq. It needs allies, and it needs a plan. As quickly as possible, we should turn the country over to a genuine international coalition, headed by the U.N. and supported in good faith by the U.S.”
