So you ARE planning on committing suicide today.
Where do we send the flowers and ballons?

Is this an an example of that sophisticated sense of humour which you alluded to earlier?

Are you upset, along with LowIQ; because Yitzhak Shamir made the British look stupid?

No, I am just waiting to see an example of the scintillating repartee that you claim to keep in reserve.

NAH; it's become obvious that you're upset.

Maybe this will jump-start Ariel Sharon's "transit".

Says it all really.

Exasperated by Shamir's stubborn refusal to go along with their plans for a regional settlement, then-U.S. Secretary of State James Baker once went on television, recited the switchboard number of the White House and told Shamir to call when he got serious about peace.
In the end, American pressure bent even Shamir. Despite his deep mistrust of Arab intentions, he agreed to attend the 1991 Middle East peace conference in Madrid, sponsored by the U.S. and Russia.
Rejected deals with Palestinians

Shamir hotly rejected the deals his successors made with the Palestinians, in which Israel turned over control of some West Bank land to the Palestinians.
His pleasure at the 1996 election victory of Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu soured when Netanyahu continued to negotiate with the Palestinians and carry out land-for-security deals.
Before the 1999 election, Shamir resigned from the Likud and joined a new right-wing block called National Union, headed by Begin's son, Ze'ev Binyamin.
The party, which rejected any turnover of land to the Palestinians, won only four seats in parliament, though it had seven members of the outgoing legislature on its list.

Oh. I thought this was about Dick Cheney.

Shamir was the epitome of the Zionist neocon and was beloved by the right. Hopefully his death will lead Israel to support the peaceful ambitions of the majority of her people.
