Reply #5: I agree with Dean - and Bush also agrees - - but no Eastern Fence [View All]

[papau]

The save the settlements Eastern fence is a con and insult.

No part of it has been started, but Bush should get Sharon to give it up in total.

Taba was the settlement that was fair - and Arafat threw it away in an all or nothing attempt via the "right to return and vote the Jews into the sea" ploy.

I do not like the Sharon extention to the Taba Western fence line (Sharon's extention is occassionally nuts, but in general moves 3 to 5 miles further west than Taba - but why bother?) (The 3% change the PA was offerring was adequate - the 5% that Barak wanted was interesting - but why just grab it if it causes so much trouble.?)
