Sharon is not the nicest guy on the planet, but we're talking about the same group that wants to try Tommy Franks. The only thing Franks is guilty of is being an inept commander. I agree with what crumbbum and Dragonlich have stated, cuz they've pretty much said all of what I think. Sure, the Mossad does get it's hands dirty a lot of the time, but they aren't intentionally killing citizens to prove a point, that is the job of organizations like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. Do I think that Sharon is a saint? No, but he's certainly a hell of a lot cleaner than the monsters that surround him. And the fact of the matter is that the Israelis are the only completely free people in that region, that's why the United States backs them. You point out the fact that hey, Israeli snipers have shot kids who were throwing rocks (as well as crude fire bombs) at tanks, hi, rules of engagement here, that's an attack if I ever saw one, and are you gonna stand idly by while you or your friend gets set on fire or maybe a lucky throw strikes his temple and he dies? I don't think so. But I agree with Dragonlich, if ur gonna try Sharon you have to try Arafat, you have to try the leaders of the other terrorist organizations, because if we let them go, then what message are we sending to the world, that it's ok to be a so called "freedom fighter" and blow up a school bus full of kids who don't understand what the hell is going on? That you can committ acts of mass destruction like 9/11 and be exempt from the standards of society? And lastly, the United Nations has about as much real power as the Model United Nations debate club that I participate in does. Hey, the Security Council passed a resolution, well whoopity doo, without enforcement, are they going to get anything done, no. Even with their UN Peacekeeping Forces, they still managed to leave Mohammed Aidid in control of Somalia. Hussein has been violating UN Resolutions for years now, but it took the foresight of the US to actually do something about it. It's like trying to stop a slap shot from the blue line simply by standing near the guy and saying, "Wait, stop, don't, please?" But the real point that we are trying to show you is that Sharon doesn't deserve a War Crimes Trial, it's the guys around him that have been doing this crap for years already and have killed the most civilians in the modern era since Josef Stalin. Show a little common sense here guys.
