#1 Intellectuals here believe Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is not truly committed to reviving the process, stalled for three years after the rejection of Arafat as a peace partner by Washington and Jerusalem.

The third sentence? Well that didn't take long. And the first two showed so much promise...

#5 This should tell us that the Arabs are not serious and have never been serious about peace in the mideast. Their agenda is to have a mideast without an Israel.

Actually, their agenda is to turn the World into Dir el Islam, and within that for Arabs to dominate. Israel just heads their list

#7 Arab analysts doubt . . .

Where's the "analysis?" This article is simply recycled arab claptrap applied to the upcoming election. And when peace negotiations break down because the "militants" won't allow Abbas to negotiate a real settlement (they only settlement they'll accept is the destruction of Israel), they'll simply say "I told you so -- it's the joooooooos' fault"

"Arab intellectals." heh.

#8 Grommgoru,
It's Dar-el-Islam.

"Dir" in hebrew means a place where you keep
goats and sheep.
Actually now that I think of it, I preffer "Dir -el-Islam". It fits much better the description of how the world will look like if the Moslems ever succeed in realizing their fantasies.
