Sharon declares war on terrorism |
2002-03-31 |
As he did in a similar speech in December, Sharon blamed Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat for attacks against Israeli civilians and dubbed him "the enemy of Israel and the enemy of the free world." For his part, Arafat -- pinned by Israeli forces at his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah -- portrayed the Israelis as the aggressors and called on "international forces" to end "this military escalation against our people." This will cause the Euros to howl. I just hope the USA backs them to the hilt, because it's a war we're fighting, too. And it's not a war we're guaranteed to win, so we need our allies. If we lose, the Dark Ages are back for another thousand years. |
