<losing disastrously outside> Really? I think he has won a decisive victory in terms of rallying international support. Israel is completely isolated, with support coming only from the US. As for Arafat being the obstacle, you might find that things only get worse when he is gone -- perhaps much worse. Israel is arguably the most hated country in the world today -- quite an accomplishment, but not a good position to be in. You will blame everybody but Israel itself for this, but I am sorry to say I believe Israeli policies are in part to blame. By seeking a military solution, Israel has painted itself into a corner -- albeit with tons of help from Arafat. The group of lunatics that thought invading Iraq would solve Israel's security problems will not be around in power much longer. Time for new leadership in Israel and new policy directions, before things get even worse.
