And things would be different now if sharon did not go? I doubt it. The problem was earlier when the palestinians rejected the last best hope for peace during the clinton-begin-arafat deal that never happened. And it never happened because arafat carries around the same map that yassin does. Needless to say there is no israel on that map. A choice was made and then they used the Sharon campaign visit as pretext for war. Mike PS I am not a fan of sharon either but like bush cant be blamed for everything in this world that doesnt go according to plan.

...it was his defiant visit to Palestine's holy site 4 years ago that spurned the current intifada...at the sometimes not so evident cost to Israel and Palestinian and world Zeta, by the time Sharon strolled onto the Temple Mount, Arafat had been paying the Tanzim militia for three months already...he was just waiting for an opportune moment to call for "Days of Rage" and start the intifada. Sharon gave him one, if it had not been that one, it would have been something else, and soon. The Palestinians were at the edge of rising up against Arafat, he had to keep the guns pointed at the Israelis.
