Ted,

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rebuffed Secretary of State Colin Powell's demand Sunday for a halt to violence, saying Israel first must withdraw its troops from the West Bank.

Which Israel has refused to do. It looks like the stalemate continues. What's worse, nobody seems to know what steps could be taken to get out of this:

``The key here is to have the parties concentrate on what they have to do, not what the other side has to do,'' Rice said on NBC's ``Meet the Press.''

The problem is that the 2 sides don't trust each other. The only way one side would take steps to lower the tension if they trusted that the other side will reciprocate.

And this assumes that the both sides want to get out of current situation. I have a feeling that Palestinians like what's going on, they think they are succeeding, so why change?

Joe
