As Prime Minister Ariel Sharons?€™ life
hangs on by a thread, several world leaders are worried about peace in
the Middle East. President Bush was dependent upon Sharon to
bring peace to the Middle East and form a Palestinian
state. Now Bush has no lead to follow in the peace
process. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, “The
desire for a stable relationship between Israel and the Palestinians is
one that runs wide and deep in Israeli society?€. However,
Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies said,
“Diplomatically things will now stall. But the United States will
revert to its position of accepting what happens on the ground without
challenging Israel and that means allowing Palestinians to be in a big
prison?€. The world needs Sharon, whether you like it or
not. He has done a lot for Israel and Palestine, by pulling
settlements out of Gaza. I hope that he pulls through
everything o.k. Personally, I don?€™t think there will ever
be peace in the Middle East. What?€™s your say?
