I don't necessarily disagree with anything you've said, Bobert (except the Nascar bit... you and I might have to resort to fisticuffs over that remark). But Bush has done the deed in Iraq. This puts him in the best position of anybody to put the flame to the feet of anyone from the Israeli side of the equation who might try to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, especially if he's doing it as an incumbent.

From what I've seen of the Democrats, there is no-one who has the will to stand up to Sharon and those who endorse his stance on the issue of the Palestinians, with the possible exception of Kucinich, whose position on the issue I'm not very clear about yet.
