Re: >>> Bullsh-t Arafat was about to let go of anything.

Here's one link that Arafat was weaker and had agreed to elections:
Arafat gives in to call for elections
washtimes.com

Others have also linked to articles saying that Sharon's tactics are strengthening Arafat. I hope you don't want me to find more articles.

By the way, "extreme practical difficulties" do not mean a thing when lives are at stake. I realize it may be more difficult to try to win the Palestinian people (thereby cutting off support to terrorism) than just bulldozing the place. But in this case, what is more difficult is productive while the easy course is not.
