"We Are Facing A War"

(2 of 2)
Sharon: I don't see now--there may be someone in the future, of course--but now, other than myself, I don't see somebody to take those hard decisions. I've seen all the horrors of wars, and I believe that maybe I'm one of the only ones that can get up here in this country and tell the people that for genuine, durable and true peace, we should be ready to make painful compromises. Of course, we will not make any compromise whatsoever when it comes to the security of the state of Israel and the security of the people of Israel. Peace is almost as painful as war because you have to make painful concessions. I can do that. I don't know if anybody else can do it. Not that everything depends on one man, but in the current situation I believe that I can do that.
