It disgusts me to see how all the American news media have leapt on the 'let's pretend' bandwagon, referring to Mr. Prime Minister Abbas, as if he were a real Prime Minister with a political base or a history of opposition to Arafat. Nothing could be further from the truth.

David Frum is unhappy also. Why are we giving this Guy Facetime with Bush?

Bush's Summit
DAVID FRUM

I really and truly hope that there is more to this story for a U.S.-Israeli-Palestinian summit than has appeared in the newspapers. A face-to-face meeting with President Bush is a huge reward, even huger when President Bush comes to your region to visit you, and it is hard to see what exactly the new Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas has done to earn it.

And of course once presidential prestige is committed, it's vitally important that the president come away with an achievement. We sure don't need a repeat of Bill Clinton's open-ended negotiations with Barak and Arafat.

Sharon's conciliatory conduct over the past few days certainly suggests that he has been promised some sort of substantial reciprocation from the Palestinian side, but of course we've heard those promises before, and before that, and before that.
