Sending Bibi to talk to the Americans was, in its way, selfless of Sharon. He knows that Bibi will strengthen his own hand for the next election.

My worry about this campaign is that it will be as Buckley says, too brutal and not brutal enough. The Israelis have not killed Arafat, and the whole world tells them that they must still deal with him, even though the whole world knows that he's a terrorist and a pathological liar. They have degraded the militias, but not destroyed them. They have also given the Palestinians plenty of ammo for their World's Biggest Victims campaign.

Personally, I think they should have killed Arafat, which would at least move the campaign forward into the post-Arafat era. As the old saying goes, when you strike at the king, you must kill him.
