So while Sharon, on Thursday, was promising new tough tactics in retaliation for attacks from Palestinian territory, Shimon Peres was in Washington talking the soothing language of peace and negotiations. But the bad cop is still the one on everyone's mind, and despite the language of accord between Peres and both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell following their meetings...
