#2 Okay, let's say for the moment that Sharon accepted the roadmap with the "trick" in mind that he knew that groups like Hamas would never disarm, therefore nullifying Israel's obligation to said roadmap.

The bottom line is that the ball IS in the paleo's court, whether they like it or not. Now the burden of proof is upon the paleos to show that they are willing to take at least an equal step. Are they willing to show that they can be civilized, or are they now forced to reveal that they are nothing more than the vicious, rabid dogs that they are. If the answer is the latter, then Israel is justified in putting them to sleep and not dealing with them. If the answer is the former, then sure, sharon's bluff will have been called, but his people will stop finding themselves in hospitals, having nails and shrapnel removed on a daily basis.

as far as ''Maybe, everything is under discussion.'' I'm betting that the only discussions are to the effect of, "uh, oh... Sharon just put us in Check, let's find a slimy way out so the heat will be off of us to put up or shut up. "
