BUSH TELLS ISRAEL IT HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF
Article Abstract:
After another suicide bombing in Northern Israel which killed 19, Pres. George W. Bush has given his support to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's decision to fight back by bombing a terrorist training camp in Syria. Pres. Bush supports Israel's right to defend itself from continued terrorism and lays the responsibility for a crackdown on terrorist groups at the feet of the Palestine National Authority. Bush also claims there will be no Palestinian state without a government committed to ending the violence. Experts are concerned, however, that Israel is taking a page from the Bush administration's playbook and beginning to go after not just terrorists but the governments that support them, creating further instability in the Middle East.
