My fear at the moment is that the settlements may be destroyed in the Israeli withdrawal. They should be placed in the hands of Palestinians by the new Government.

Each domicilage slot in every transferred settlement should be transferred title into the "private" ownership of a particular Palestinean family. As we know from Garrett Hardin's _The Tragedy of the Commons_, that way the persons who uncommonly benefitted from the edifices would make very sure no harm came to them.
Why not give settlement domicilage "slots" to the Palestineans who claim Israel stole their homes? It's not what they *want*, but, as we all know, you can't always get what you want, but if you try real hard, you just might find, you can get what you need (--lyrics from a Rolling Stones song)?
I think one reason Bush's plan might work is that eveybody knows Bush is a "loose cannon on the deck", and, if you "mess with" him, he might throw a WMD temper tantrum (or at least pepper you with depleted uranium).
