Bush probably thought that the Arabs, Muslims and large part
of the other people of Earth didn´t hate the US enough, so he
had to throw one show more in support of the aged Sumo
wrestler that rulers Israel.

Does he think that the whole world will now rush to sing the
praise of Ariel and give him free hand to slice himself huge
pieces of the West Bank? Or is this just rhetorical bullshit
for the local folk, part of his campaign to get four years more
to create as much death and destruction as possible? He might
not even know himself.

And what Bush said about "peaceful Palestine" - we need a
peaceful Israel in the Middle East, but we will never see it! There
will be no peace, because the majority of the Israelis don´t want
peace and they don´t want peace, because they frankly haven´t
suffered enough! They haven´t grown tired of the violence and
are still seeking to grab huge chunk of West Bank. If they really
would want only peace and etc then they would just leave the
occupied areas and go home. But they don´t.
