Bush to Israel: show restraint, respect innocent life
but will Sharon follow Bush's fine example?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush called on Israel on Wednesday to exercise restraint in Gaza and to respect "innocent life" after Israeli tanks and helicopters fired on protesters in a refugee camp, killing at least 10 Palestinians.

The White House said it has asked the Israeli government to explain its actions, which raised the two-day death toll to 33 in Israel's bloodiest raid in Gaza in years.

"I continue to urge restraint. It is essential that people respect innocent life in order for us to achieve peace," Bush told reporters after meeting with members of his Cabinet.

"We'll get clarification from the government. ... But I will continue to speak out about the need for all parties to respect innocent life in the Middle East," Bush said.

Not a credible voice for restraint and respect of innocent life.
