Reply #21: It's about time world politicians andleaders start calling Sharon

[Tinoire]

what he is! And then maybe we can all get on to the business of peace. Sharon is the biggest obstacle to peace and to the peace of mind of the world. Between him and Bush, the world is on the edge of a catastrophe.

The real world the French ambassador used was "voyou" which basically means "thug"; lout is simply too elegant of a translation and too British-polite; the word was thug.

The last 2 US Ambassadors we sent to Israel were insulted as Jew-boys to their face by members of the Knesset. 1 almost came to physical blows with his Israeli insulter. But not a peep about that. Not a peep about the utter disrespect to a US Ambassador!

But let the French call Sharon what he is, and people get in a tizzy. The guy is an international right-wing thug. No one in this forum should be rushing to his defense or heaping one word of scorn on the French for saying this.

I applaud him. And when they print what the French say of Bush I shall applaud just as loud. Because both of them are right-wing thugs who stand for everything Democrats and Progressives and Liberals hate.

Everyone should be cheering loudly. As loudly as we will cheer when people start calling Bush what he is.
