Don't forget the Palestinian Refugee camps in Beirut. The only condition 
the 'Powers' (France, UK and US as I recall) put on Sharon was to keep 
the Falangists (sp?) out of the camps.
Sharon put them in cahrge of 'security' in the camps. Figures vary as to 
how many children women and old people died that day, but it was 
certainly in excess of 10k.

If Bin Laden is a terrorist for organising that abominable act last 
year, then Sharon is for inviting the Falangists (sp?) in.

Nice to see a balanced response to my post which did verge on flamebait.
