In a message dated 4/21/2004 6:53:05 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: One can only pray that President George W. Bush, his advisers and his many millions of highly principled Christian supporters will provide the kind of guidance that characterizes the great men of history. You might as well pray that Mel Gibson will refilm "The Passion" as put your faith in George Bush and his advisors! Take another look at Colin Powell's, Bush's chief military advisor, blatantly pro-Arab bias on every issue of Israel's future. (For an excellent summary, which pre-dates his support for making Gaza judenrein, see: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=11073) Or Condaleeza Rice, the National Security Advisor, who specifically reminds people of her "Christian values" while she works to implement the "Road Map" and get financing for the PA. (http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=sd&ID=SP52803). (That article also has some interesting things to say about Colin Powell.) Bush, like most politicians, is playing "good cop/bad cop" by giving verbal support to Israel, support that he knows his representatives, especially those in the State Department, will counter with pro-Arab actions. Please read this article on the "Big Four" conference and then try to tell any Israeli -- or American -- to rely on any "peacemakers" at all! (http://dawn.com/2002/05/04/top17.htm) Also, like other US presidents, Bush only makes statements of support; he will not even take the actual step in showing his support for Israel by moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, which Congress approved in 1995 (and had been "promised" for many years before that!) Don't forget that presidents also make promises of support to the Arabs, including the "Palestinians", as well as Israel -- and the Arabs have oil. But, lest you think I am just bashing Bush, look at another "highly principled Christian" -- Jimmy Carter -- and how much he has done to promote the "Palestinian cause". He was even instrumental in getting Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize! (http://www.punditreview.com/carter_nobel.htm}. Israelis must stop looking to American presidents either for approval or for protection. Political expediency will always determine American foreign policy, no matter who sits in the White House, and no matter what the principles -- Christian or otherwise -- of his supporters! Look at how a presidential waiver got around the law forbidding financial aid to the "Palestinians" in July 2003! (http://www.usaid.gov/wbg/faq.htm#aa1) Where were all the "principled supporters" while this pro-"Palestinian" activity has been going on? Moreover, the biggest reason why American approval will not help Israel is that no American politician, including the president, has any control or influence whatsoever on the terrorist tactics (which are fundamental to their entire "cause") of the "Palestinians"! The "Palestinians" do not feel bound by any agreements that they make themselves, let alone agreements made by an American president in their name! (http://www.mideastjournal.com/arafatsconcessions.html) (Just for the record, I am not making a racist comment; Islamic doctrine states that Muslims are not required to keep any promise made to a non-Muslim!) The entire concept of "land for peace" which is behind the "Road Map" is intrinsically flawed, and "negotiating" with your sworn enemies who clearly have different aims than you, can never bring anything but disaster. This is true whether or not the Israelis have the "approval" of the American government. Politics are never based on moral principles!
