Now somebody ram a sock in george bush's mouth before he says something to ruin this peace process.

I applaud the effort.

"“Olmert is trying to fool decent peace-seeking citizens,” said MP Shelly Yehimovicz of the center-left Labor party, a key coalition partner in Olmert’s government." Sadly, I agree with Ms. Yehimovicz. Olmert has been proven time and time again not to negotiate in good faith, even internally.

Olmert wants to give the Golan away in exchange for empty promises. Of course, a huge benefit for him would be that that distracts from his personal scandals. Israel is suffering through its very own version of a Clinton period.

I would have said that Israel is suffering through its own version of a George w Bush period. Absolute incompetence!

Olmert is playing poker. Assad is playing chess!

Israel will demand Syria to isolate Hamas and Hezbullah and distance themselves from Iran. If it ever gives back the Golan to Syria and Sheeba Farm to Lebanon, Zionists apologists and supporters will say. Is not Israel a genuine country> while Israel will keep on expanding in the West Bank while diplacing its native people from their homes.

If you do not cherrish democracy then there is no problem. If you do not believe people have a right to defend themselves from foreign invaders then there is no problem as well.

Well since since just about every liberal democracy isolates Hamas and Hezbullah and distances themselves from Iran, I guess all of them don't cherish democracy and don't believe that people have the right to defend themselves from foreign invaders. Either that or you're just talking out your rear.

Tough choice...
