Cary, Article after article indicates that there is a major re-thinking going on in arab palestine about the moral implications of suicide bombing as well as its failure as policy, about democratic institutions and about capitalism and free markets in general. One Palestinian leader actually attacked arafat for not accepting Camp David in 1999. Cary, you may have been right all along about Sharon. The resolute and harsh Israeli response to terror may have given the Palestinians a needed added dose of realism. Once they believe that the Jews are not going anywhere, it becomes incumbent on them to find another way to happiness and prosperity. If i were palestinian, even if i were one who sympathised with the terrorists aims, i would be re-thinking that view and looking to be on the right side of history which i hope we all believe is democracy, capitalism, free markets and peace. So Sharon may have negated the need for population transfer and set himself up as Israel's De Gaulle bringing peace over the next three years. That is the optimists case anyway. mike
