Re; * Unilateral separation. This option is likely to emerge if neither of the above options proves possible I would argue option two has a chance if the US were to specifically outline an agreement. "Here it is, folks", accept it as a "starter" and we can fine tune the details to a mutually beneficial conlusion. Step aside and dismiss the proposal? You get option three, unilateral action on behalf of the stronger military power. "Palestinian state will be established by a certain date, after which negotiations about borders and powers vis-…-vis Israel would be conducted between juridical equals" That's an excellent proposal. I would only dissent on the point that the US must get the Arab nations to put some "heat" on Yasser. I am not comprehending the necessity for that tact. If Ross is right and we have leverage on both partied (I agree) then forget about waiting for the Saudis or Egyptians. That's a dilatory path to more difficulties. It's time for the "Powell Plan"...for a Pal state and Israeli security. The Saudis have spoken. Now is Powell's opportunity to make an equally bold move. Otherwise, I am moving to the ME and corner the market in US and Israeli flag sales. They go thru a lot flags over there. midnite
