>>A very real problem, KC. But one not solvable by Sharon,<<

Not solvable is mostly correct, but I don't see the actions being carried out lately as working to do anything more than undermine Arafat when he should have just ignored him, since it is having just the opposite effect.When will the Israelis get a clue?Or is it all smoke and mirrors?I don't know, but it makes one wonder at times.


>>So the only solution is to get rid of Arafat and the PLO -- boot them out. This is just what George Bush has prevented Sharon from doing<<

I'm sure Bush has advised that to " boot him out " might cause more problems than they have right now, not to mention throwing a monkey wrench into his plans for the ME.

What they need to concern themselves with is when legitimate elections are held, what happens if the PALs re- elect him?Sharon will HAVE to deal with the legitimately elected representative, either directly or indirectly.

Maybe his is what he fears the most?
