“Ariel Sharon came to America, and he stood up with me and he said, ‘We are pulling out of Gaza and parts of the West Bank..[in] my judgment, the whole world should have said, ‘Thank you, Ariel. Now we have a chance to begin the construction of a peaceful Palestinian state.'”
– US President George W. Bush, in the diplomatic equivalent of thumbing at his nose at all the world leaders who condemned his agreement with Sharon, and saying “naaaa naaaaa naaaa naaaa naaaa.”
