Is George W. Bush more of a likudnick than Ariel Sharon? Probably. It has been revealed that the White House may be pressuring the Israeli government to avoid pulling out from the Gaza strip. It looks like domestic politics are more important to the Bush Administration than handling the Israel-Palistine issue in a serious manner. Just like in the case of every other issue, from economic policy to the war on terror, the integrity of the constitution and the occupation of Iraq, short-run political considerations come first for the current party in power.
