I am not sure that reconsolidating a Palestinian state in Jordan is a solution, the "western flavor" of the Kingdom will rapidly vanish, and Jordan will be taken over by Palestinians (which under some circumstances, might not be that bad) but the common border with Sadam's Iraq might be destabilizing as well. Maybe the advance of real democracies that are developing economically, in that part of the world is a precondition to stabilization. As for Sharon, I don't think that his visit was timed in any way, after Arafat turned down the last Clinton/Barak offer, he was already planning to resume terror in order to try and get by violence what he could not get by talking. The plan for the intifada was in motions months before "Sharon's visit". Why should an Israeli leader be forbidden from visiting the sites holy to his religion when the sites holy to all other religions, in Jerusalem, are open to all? The Sharon visit was simply used as an excuse. I wonder where were all the people complaining about Israel's handling of "holy sites", when Israeli were forbidden from getting to the Western wall between 1949 and 1967 and to the University on Mount Scopius, when both activities were "guarranteed" as part of the armistice Agreement of 1949.
