Of note, King Abdullah of Jordan, for whom i respect his opinions, and is King Husseins son, said in brutal candidness that the isolation of Arafat is, amongst Arab people, elevating him , in their minds, into a saint.(o wow that is really constructive-NOT!) I'm sure if Sharon were not held back, Arafat would be a safely dead saint. The Arabs are currently in such a state (Arafat does know how to push their buttons) that they are going to hate both the US and Israel regardless of what they do. brutal war? hatred. limited war? hatred. diplomacy? hatred and non-cooperation. retreat? hatred and contempt. Therefore, I think it's wiser for both the US and Israel to currently work on the respect (=fear) side of the street.
