Bush's about face
Apr. 15, 2004Tensions are on the rise once again in the West Bank and Gaza Strip following the recent and historic shift in U.S. foreign policy. President Bush Wednesday endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to hold on to part of the West Bank in any peace settlement that may be reached with Palestinians. Less than a week ago, Bush met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to discuss ways to improve Israeli and Palestinian relations, as well as the state of the Middle East. After this meeting both presidents issued a joint statement announcing that an Israeli withdraw from the territory would be a significant step forward on the road to peace. However, backing Sharon's plan for withdrawal is a complete reversal on the president's part and will likely put a major strain on peace talks. In this time of unrest throughout the Middle East, it is either short-sightedness or ignorance that has caused the present administration to change decades of policy in the course of a week. Bush's support of Sharon's plan is irresponsible and will cause a backlash against the United States from the West Bank to Baghdad.
