I don't think Sharon has quite been taken to the cleaners - he still has his pants on at least. But Krauthammer is quite right about Abu Mazen just re-promising some old Oslo promises. What I dread is the notion (being promulgated fast and furious from Foggy Bottom) is that we now have to "give" Abbas something for nothing to "support" him, while he gives empty promises that no one expects him to fulfill because he's "helpless". And thus another round of Palestinian victimhood is enabled. Can you say, the bigotry of low expectations? The cycle will only be broken if and when Bush does something different from last time when once again the Palestinian promises are revealed as meaningless. I suspect (tho of course with no proof) that W promised Arik something of the sort in exchange for Israel making some real concessions to help Israeli "peacemaker" credentials. TWT
