SHARON AT THE UN

A couple views on what I think was a significant speech by Ariel Sharon.

While it's excellent that Sharon has recognized, at long last, the right of Palestinians to their own state, the settlements continue to expand, and the encirclement of Jerusalem continues, whittling away at what will eventually be an archipelago of economically unviable Palestinian cantons. Which makes the-even-more-hardcore Netanyahu's complaints about "withdrawals and concessions" all the more ridiculous.
