Nope. It was Sharon's idea to do this... he followed a policy that was
first seriously discussed by the current PM. There was a great article
in Newsweek about him. I disliked a lot of what he did, including the
deaths in Leb., but he was a flexible thinker.

If anything GWB and the religious right are more pro-Israel than the
Israelies. They *want* conflict in the middle east, since that's where
they believe the prophecies will begin.
