Yes. I don't doubt Sharon's motivations nor his love for Israel, he's no hack politician, and I think he views this as his last chance to leave a legacy. Same for Bibi, though he has time to be Sharon's successor. If you're saying they gave the PA enough rope to hang themselves, I think you're right. We could generously term it a second chance. Hopefully GWB is in on it. I suspect we might disagree on the borders, I think it will be the fences, an undefined east, but this problem may be heading to a resolution. Hamas needs to be destroyed, as do the PLO, though I think they'll simply be marginalized.

S, at this point, I'd be willing to bet that Israel's borders will be all of Ancient Israel and part of Lebanon.
This is a fight to the finish and no one can turn back.
