Appeasement is unilateral. Peace is mutual. And under the existing Israeli government, domination, not resolution, is the only possibility, with or without Arafat or Barghouti.

Sharon might be capable of forcing a surrender but he will never be able to forge a peace.

I can't think of a faster way for the PLO to be able to "prove" that their tactics had worked

You can take the quotes off of "prove", LB. If the Israelis withdraw unilaterally -- land for no peace, land for war -- then Arafat's tactics have won, no question about it.

This pacifist, appeasement, approach never works, John.

Labeling things this way is not a policy. Just a label.
