Four Years ago Yesterday

I missed an anniversery. Yesterday was exactly four years since Areil Sharon intentionally and successfully restarted the Intafada. Intafada 2 as some call it. He was so successful as to cause something like 4000 lives lost to the resulting bombings and terrorism. Let's not forget, such violence had been all but eliminated five years ago with the Oslo Accords. Remember the peace treaty that was actually working until Likud called for and got the assassination of Prime Minister Begin. And then successfully restarted the violence with acts such as trampling on sacred ground - a Mosque atop the rock. That last act was four years ago yesterday. So long ago that many forget the years when there was no such violence.
