#1 "As a Jew, this agonizes me. But I have decided to make every effort to reach a settlement. I feel that the rational necessity to reach a settlement is overcoming my feelings."
Wow, those are some sincere words. Are you sure that it really was Sharon doing the interview. Could have been the clown from spawn. I always thought there was quite a bit of resemblance.
And are we sure that it was really Yasser at the Camp David Conference and not just a camel. I always thought there was a resemblance there too.

#2 Hey, camels are noble beasts. Unlike Arafat, who is just a beast, and a nasty one at that.

#3 This is not the first time Ariel Sharon has talked about making painful concessions to achieve peace.I don't see much that's new here.However,note that Sharon is talking to his supporters here;'painful concessions' means giving up claims to much of the West Bank and Gaza,not giving up half of Jerusalem like Barak suggested;that was seen as betrayal by Sharon and the rest of the Israeli Right.

There's no way the Sharon government is going to offer the Palestinians as sweet a deal as the one they turned down in 2000.

#4 El Id,
Good! I hope to heck that the palis are offered less than they spited in 2000. Why the bleep should the last 2 1/2 years of abominable behavior be rewarded?
