Where will it ever end. Bush has given support to Sharon, who has taken that support to include knocking out anyone it feels is a threat. There is no way any movement towards peace can be had in these circumstances.

Blair has tried to support Bush on the Iraq issue but has also tried to push GWB towards peace settlement in Israel and Palestine. I guess this is now totally at an end.

Did Bush offer his support to Sharon in the hope of getting more of the Jewish vote in the US. If so it could be a bitter bowl of tea. Becuase of Sharons actions more Jews will be targeted for suicide bombings and shootings in Israel, and of course then the Palestinians will be targeted again by the Israeli forces. The circle just gets more viscious and unbreakable.
