a good quote from MS SLATE on Palestine:>One Palestinian minister told the [Wall Street] Journal that Sharon's demands of Arafat were unrealistic. "He's tying Arafat's hands tonight and tying his legs, blindfolding him and throwing him to the sea and asking him to swim," he said. "If you swim, that's fine. If you drown, you're not a partner." <
also, the Sharon demand that 7 days of total peace prevail before any peace talks can occur gives any disgruntled Palestinian -- or Israeli -- with a gun a veto over the "peace process." JD
