Bush is a Hypocrite

I believe the United States ought to fight terrorism by any means necessary. Furthermore, I believe that any state that does not support the fight against terrorism, or, worse, maintains friendly relations with terrorist organizations and states, is an enemy to freedom. Bush certainly seems to have taken the view that the U.S. will not negotiate with terrorists, views and state that does so as suspect, and will take decisive military action if necessary to defeat international terrorism.

So why can't Israel do the same? Why isn't Israel allowed to maintain its own security, inside the country, while the U.S. can defend its security interests halfway across the world from Washington?

The ideal of Israeli and Palestinian cooperation has been shown to be empty fantasy. Any reasonable person could see this decades ago. Coercing Sharon into cooperating with terrorists makes Bush a total hypocrite.
