#3 Actually, the deal will be "agreed" upon many weeks later, when we all have proof that the Palestinian truce is borne out in (lack of) action.

What century do we imagine Palestine will actually get around to agreeing that Israel has a right to exist (where it is)?

#4 So let me get this straight. Bush overthrows the Taliban and they now have a democratically elected government. Bush overthrows Hussein and the Iraqis will soon have a democratically elected government. Bush refuses to deal with Arafat, who then croaks, and now the Palestinians have a democratically elected government and, for the first time, a legitimate shot at achieving peace with Israel and their own state. Bush gives a SOTU address that calls on other tyrannical regimes, including two of our best "friends" in the region, to introduce democratic reforms, giving hope to millions for the first time. The Arab street hates us why? The left in this country and Europe calls Bush a Nazi and war-monger why? The SOTU and the Inaugural address were preachy and over-the-top why? Am I missing something? If the Arab world ever had a Mount Rushmore, they would be carving President Bush's mug on there in about 50 years.

#5 These guys need to knock off this truce talk and start discussing a permanent cessation of hostilities. A "truce" is generally considered to be a temporary thing.
