"Good analogy. The Palestinians are only at about 50% or 60% bearishness on the intifada, judging by latest polls, but that's more bearish than they were a year ago. When they reach 100%, the intifada will stop. This intifada has just entered its third year. Previous intifadas lasted about three years each (1936-39, 1988-91)." Can we chart the infitada? <g> Disagree on the impossibility of the Quartet playing a role but that role is to secure a peace after suicides stop. I wouldnt put them in the middle just yet but i wouldnt wait for 100% compliance from the Palestinians because for that we will wait forever. When we hit 90%+, suicides will be few and far between and perhaps then the quartet can play a role. Russians might be particularly helpful for after all Israel is Son of Russia as much as anyting else and the russians have always been on good terms with the arabs. Hell they helped cause much of the problem along with european colonialism, the american quest for oil and especially nazism which caused the migration of large numbers of jews to israel in the first place. If there were no nazis and no repressive USSR most jews would have probably stayed in europe. mike
