Well I see where you're coming from, but I still don't see how you can think that Bush is "good for the Middle East".
I agree Kerry was not the strongest candidate, but he was a popular choice for the very reason you say he wouldn't be strong. Bush's foreign policy is very favourable to Isreal, but that's about where the list ends...unless you class Hawaii as foreign.

Let's be adult about this. Both Arafat and Sharon are megalomaniacal individuals. The one thing Arafat has done is get pretty much the whole of Middle East "on-side" by playing the victim.
The one thing Sharon has done is alienate himself from the majority of the civilized world.
