and again...Sadat is to blame!
A Mauritanian writer wrote a piece (Arabic) on Al Jazeera about how it is Egypt that deserves more tears than Gaza. He talks about the role the current Egyptian administration is playing but then he brings it all back to the "grand" mistake of Sadat visiting Jerusalem and providing concessions and giving way to Israel's dominance...
Sadat was the first to understand what was the way out, that Israel was here to stay and that there was no way to throw the "Jews into the sea" as Nasser gallantly aimed for. If the Syrians and Palestinians were smart enough to join him things would have been much different now...then it was a weaker Israel, more inclined to settle things...the chance has been missed...so I do not see how Sadat is to blame for what is happening in Gaza now...if any of the deceased are to blame then that would be Yasser Arafat and Hafez Al-Assad...

ah-men tamer! amen!
it takes a particular kind of genius to blame sadat for conflict in the middle east.
although heres an idea - if sadat didn't go to jerusalem, and didn't sign camp david, then there would have been no assasination, which means Hosni Mubarak would be running a fuul stand right about now.
so right;i pray for many more sadat's to come back.
it is sad to see that we are still locked in the past tense!
