But even worse, as far as the Israelis are concerned, they were meant as the crew. > They are now drifting away, between a Hamas storm gathering on the horizon and the deep sea infested with Likud sharks.... Incredible, I suppose that's why they're keeping Sharon's body "alive" on life-support hoping for a miracle. > If Netanyahu shrewdly tempers his radical declarations then he'll make it He has the whole field to himself -- he can choose whatever policy he wants. Except for Peretz, all the other potential leaders are discredited by following Sharon into the now-captainless ship. > for all Netanyahu's skill at getting round US opinion, I'm afraid he'll be on a collision course with President Bush on the Iranian issue: the latter is not a life-and-death matter for the US. Netanyahu will cool down his anti-Iranian rhetoric for a few billion. Every whore has a price.

Gus > They must feel like high-spirited passengers who boarded a cruise ship and, when already on the high seas, find out that the captain just kicked the bucket (2) On second thoughts, I am now of the opinion they are going to do a real Hollywood stunt on Uncle Ariel and "bring him back to life" -- just as they did with Bobby Ewing in Dallas 2 and Osama bin Laden in The Terrorists of 9/11. It takes only a fat, old man with white hair and a videotape for the Captain to still be there with the Israelis, steering the ship of state away from the whirlpool of a Labour government and the rocks of the Oslo Accord.
