2. Isreal's going nuts and that's all he can say?

The man's a total incompetent!

4. not going nuts, just applying the Bush doctrine

Pre-emptive warfare is the monster of his own making, how can he condemn it's application by others?

I'll be mighty interested to hear what the neocons have to say when China decides it has to "pre-emptively" attack Taiwan.

5. This has been planned for a long time, imo.

Sharon and Bush play our countries to suit THEIR world view. Bush gets Sharon to supply the reason to extend US intervention.
