Roadmap to Peace?
Occasionally I wear an Israeli pin on my lapel. No cause has been more undeservingly glorified in recent times than that of the Palestinian suicide bomber. However, the Bush/Sharon "roadmap to peace" seems to lead only to further violence on both sides. Sharon doesn't seem to be interested in halting new settlements, much less dismantling existing ones. And Bush seems more interested in toothless acts of good faith that sound great in campaign speeches but produced disasterous results on the ground, whether in Israel, Iraq or Afghanistan. The real losers seem to be the Palestinians, who for the first time in memory have made (small) steps in the right direction by beginning to reform their parliament. Who thinks they'll be willing to make any progress in the future if all they get in return is a Sharon who refuses to yield any concessions?

You got a better idea ?
There are a few actually, but I'm rooting for this one now as hard as I can.
But who's glorifying suicide bombers ?
