deal that Arafat scuttled last year I tend to believe what Ross has said on this(Arafat passed), but that is the point: Get something going and let Yasser or Ariel say "nyet!" I am getting the impression we are about to do just that, put a few cards on the table and see. A rolling process of sequential actions is a recipe for a few more Jenins or Passover massacres. Let's see, what page are we on? Tenet plan for the temporary normalization of lessened violence, followed by the Mitchell checklist for improved permanent distrust, and then... Hey, maybe the Pals want it all and will stop at nothing short of that? Maybe Sharon does wish to "cleanse" the Pals all the way to the East Bank. I don't know, and if the principals don't "fess up" there'll never be any basis upon which to negotiate. Make them make a choice. Let the idiots drive the bus (zealots on BOTH sides) and you're never gonna get off the freeway. Just a silly game of chicken. Oh, and OBL is still dead. midnite
