Anyone who believes the leftist drivel that passes for "news" in Haaretz ought to have his head examined. :) Looks to me like this writer is gleeful at the thought that terrorism might have paid off for the Palestinians. I see absolutely nothing new, of substance, that has come out of this summit - and has Sharon done nothing but considered the possibilty of a Palestinian state if terrorism ceases. What's new about that?
Sharon committed Israel to a "Palestinian State" (which is just the Arab code word for the destruction of Israel).

What's new about that? This has always been about two things...terroist thugs and occupied land.
The arguments to date always get sidetracked by the old question of 'Which came first? The chicken or the egg?" Which was then followed by someone wanting to know who was going to be the chicken and who was going to be the egg.
What is new about this, veronica, is that President Bush has no patience with such nonsense and now, it does not matter.
Terror must stop. Occupation must end.
If Hamas, Hezbolah and all of Arafat's other little toys don't clean up their act then there will be nothing but dust and ashes in what could have been a Palestinian nation.
That is what is new. President Bush has told the parties that if they don't settle their problem with his help then he won't help Arafat when Sharon blows him to hell.
Is that peace? Nope, but it is closure.
