Nonsense. This may well be the beginning of the end for the Palies. I trust Bush will bring this to a head.

There may well be a civil war within Israel and "Palestine" in order to cleanse each side of the radicals. Bush is a serious guy and I expect he won't suffer BS.

"Nonsense. This may well be the beginning of the end for the Palies."

I actually agree. There's no real downside for Israel agreeing to this thing, because if they feel the Arabs aren't holding up their end, they can just let the tanks roll all over again, with another "I told you so."

If the Palestinians clean up their act, then Israel gets what it wants. If they can't clean up their act, they still aren't going to succeed at destroying Israel no matter how hard they try. Sharon has no obligation to follow any road map unless the other side does the same.

Even if Israel's enemies actually had a chance of destroying them, I'm pretty sure our military would be there to make sure it didn't happen. Am I going out on a limb there? :)

I know Israel can't base it's foreign policy on the idea that another country is going to come in and help them guarantee victory in the event of a war they could (hypothetically) lose, but the Arabs need to get it through their thick skulls that Israel isn't going away, and pretending you can actually accomplish that is a waste of your time.

Or to legs...

Don't you think this line of yours is a little silly?

He already does...
In view of the road map business Washington does look phony about Afghanistan, Iran...
