Our chance to give Bush some balance

I AM concerned over President Bush’s endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s plans and methods. US support for Israel over its neighbours is not new, but the lack of subtlety in the president’s message to the Arab word is shocking.

The Palestinian proponents of the non-violent path to a settlement are losing support on the ground.

President Bush is coming to Ireland. While there is widespread opposition to the visit, he should be received with the respect his office deserves.
