Premature??? It was suicidal. Peres and Yossi Beilin should have been jailed for treason. Rabin got what he deserved. Any treaty signed by Arabs is merely viewed by them as toilet paper (not that they use any).
Everything we are seeing is a prelude to WMD being uncovered, the Palestinians getting a homeland and relations normalized with a good portion of the secularist Arab world. The WMDs are in Syria, who is getting a big pass by both the U.S. and Israel. Everyone conveniently forgets that Syria is in violation of a 25-yr old Security Council resolution for invading Lebanon. All we hear about is how Israel is "occupying" the Golan Heights. This land must never be bargined over. It was annexed by Israel. Would we negotiate with Mexico to "give back" Arizona and New Mexico (then again I wouldn't put that past Bush).
And why are you so hopeful at a "Palestinian homeland"? There is such a place--Jordan, which is 90 PERCENT "Palestnian" (btw, none of the top 3 PLO leaders were born in any part of Israel...Arafat himself was born in Cairo decades before the creation of Israel...the concept of a "Palestinian" is a sham fantasy created by the PLO and the Jew-hating Left). Creating a SECOND Palestinian State in the West Bank would be forming nothing but a new terror state and Al Queda vassal.
