The belief that arafat was complicit in killing americans on the west bank and in iraq in recent months probably is what caused the 180 by bush on this issue

Let's just say that Bush got Arafat's message. You can call this the return message.

Curious that it's being reported as a "180". On the one hand, it represents no change in American policy - which has long been for an eventual Palestinian state, with border adjustments. It never was American policy that Israel should return to June 4, 1967 borders. The difference is, and it's significant, that until now the US took no stance on borders or refugees except to say that the two parties had to negotiate them. Now Bush has blessed Sharon's unilateral steps toward the same end, and officially come out against Palestinian "right of return".
