You are wrong Miguel.\nThe Acting Israeli Prime Minister is Ehud Olmert.\nAt least until the elections in March.

Unfortunately Abbas is a democratically elected leader, so is at the mercy of the whims of the Palestinian people, many of whom will not be satisfied until the "terrorists" behind the "occupation" are pushed into the Mediterranean. He is also on shaky ground with his own Fatah party.\nI like Olmerts plan; and I think Abbas is a smart man who sees the practicalities of it as well, but  he will not have the political will to see it pass. \nLets hope this gets solved in our lifetime, or it might be a shorter life then many of us expect.

Because we have liberals that prevent comprehensive measures. It's all part of the democratic process, not that Israel isn't an essentially free nation. I agree with you. I like Israel's style. I like how they dealt with Hamas' last leader. They F-16'd him! Just one guy, but they sent a missile strike. They certainly don't mess around. I would be scared to death living right next to a Hamas' lead country, but the Israelis do it every day. They are tough as nails.

He is a peacemaker. The criminal was Yasser Arafat. I'd be interested in hearing why those people who called Sharon a criminal think that way.

Doubtful, the most likely aggressor will be the Isaelis. Since Sharon was incapacitated, they've been more or less leaderless since January of this year. Now that they've taken some action to get a new leader, i'm sure they'll be making some kind of decision. The US response most likely will be in defense of the Israelis. \n\nThe only wild card is Pres. Bush, he doesn't have an election to worry about and probably wants to leave a legacy: "the person who had the courage" to make the decision to stop Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon, even if it meant using a tactical nuke on some of the hardened facilities such as the nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz.\n\nPres. Bush's generals appear to have recommended against a military response, and may resign over the whole issue, if the Commander-in-Chief decides to proceed anyway.\n\nA US attack will lead to fearful consequences, but on the other hand, do we let a megolomaniac get control of a nuclear device? Hard questions to answer.

Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. On 24 June 2002, US President BUSH laid out a "road map" for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisions a two-state solution. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.

agree, as long as he doesnt bow to Israeli lobby like the previous USA leaders (Bush Jr, Bush Sr, etc). Kennedy was a good man, but the jews assasinated him

You shouldn't give up your homes, on the account of a politician.  \nIt won't help the situation.\nOnly peaceful interaction by both sides will help the situation.\nI think Israel needs to train and equip snipers and go snipe hunting

Sharon has taken down many illegal homes built by Israeli's. They have allowed Palestinian's to vote in Israeli places, even though there is always the chance of a suicide bomber.
