Ariel Sharon's words.

On this sad day (Sharon has suffered from two strokes) I found a May 2003 quote from Haaretz:

"A senior security official recently told [journalist Akiva] Eldar of a conversation with Sharon, in which the prime minister said Israel must stick to its guns for the next 30 years, at which time alternative technologies will reduce the need for oil, thus sapping Arab influence on Europe and the world."www.SetAmericaFree.org
