Your faith in Sharon means you'll never objectively look at the evidence I'm provided. It's obvious he was kept very well aware of exactly what was happening in those camps as it was happening yet you refuse to believe he had any clue of what was going on. My point is I don't understand how he could have known about everything EXCEPT the massacres. He sent them in only to get PLO terrorists? How would they seperate terrorists from innocents? Do they carry terrorist ID? It just seems painfully obvious that the whole operation was a recipe for disaster.

Don't ask me why, but a later Lebanese internal investigation found Phalangist fighters immune from prosecution for the massacres. Perhaps they decided the man who gave the orders should be most responsible.

To label the Jordanian killing of Palestinians as murder shows a total lack of historical understanding. You make it sound like the Jordanians rounded them all up in a camp, sorrounded it with tanks, and killed everyone inside. I dunno, but something about an attempted overthrow of the government by radicals comes to mind.

Syrian occupation of Lebanon? Yet another historical fallacy. Well, maybe if you ask some of the Christians they'd call it an occupation. I for one would like to see the Syrians out but I don't forget that the French created borders of Lebanon once constituted the Western half of Syria.

What about Iraq before the war? GREAT question. Who would possibly block investigations into Iraq? What about the US and the European countries who gave him all the proper tools and support to carry out his most heinous attrocities?

If you want to prosecute Arafat, go ahead. What does that have to do with Sharon and his crimes? Why does the US attack Iraq claiming a ruthless tyrant needs to be disposed of when it ignores all the other ruthless tyrants in the world? Are you saying Sadaam should be left in power as long as the world isn't willing to attack all dictators?

You said you're not going to respond. That's fine, don't. I think we'll have to agree to disagree.
