Quote:How so? Do you have evidence that Sharon is opposed to peace, or are you attempting to infer this from his use of his military?
If the latter, are you unfamiliar with the concept of self-defense? (I recognize that we could debate the methods and scale involved, but I find the notion that Sharon prefers conflict to peace absurd.)
You did see, perhaps, the link earlier wherein Sharon said there is no intention to give up territory or to cease taking more, and that Colin Powell was incorrect in his description of what Israel agreed to?
Quite possibly, the Mongols or Caeser or Napoleon would have wished peace too, in the end. It is the necessary conditions which they held ought to be in place first that made for some problems. You'll have to admit that Bush terming Sharon a 'man of peace' was a little bit on the Orwellian side of language usage.
