#1 Well, when Hamas wins the upcoming elections, I don't see how the roadmap can stay in effect.

#2 I think the Gaza pullout was an experiment to see if peace was even possible with those animals. I think we all see the conclusion to be drawn here. Somehow the more you try to help those assholes the more they think their terrorist techniques are working, and wearing down the Israelis. Some people just dont have their shit together enough to govern themselves. And I think you are right Danking70 if they elect hamas to office they have just screwed the pooch.

#3 A lot hinges on Sharon's surgery on Thursday. A radio report I heard yesterday said there is little-to-no information about Arik's condition. One unconfirmed report sez he's completely blind in one eye. Also, the succession of power in unclear in Israeli law. If anyone here is more knowlegeable, please share what you know...

#4 "...would argue that Israel was justified in abandoning the peace plan and setting borders unilaterally because of the failure of the Palestinians to crack down on armed groups."

Unilateral pullout from Gaza pretty much made that a self-fulfilling prophecy.

#6 Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon plans eventually to scrap a US-approved road map to peace with the Palestinians and instead seek Washingtonâs blessing for annexing occupied West Bank land

Sometimes I've this fantasy of living in an independent country which can---when the occasion requires---tell Washington go and f*ck itself.

#7 "sure DG - it's the Joooos fault the Paleos can't control themslves"

FrankG, I didn't assign blame for anything. I don't think I was alone in predicting the chaos as a result of the Gaza pullout. Want to venture a guess as to how many "Pass the Popcorn" references there has been on RB since the pullout announcement.
Go Down Moses!

#8 Correction:

...as a result of the Gaza pullout AND inability for Abbas and the Paleos to control themslves.

Whew!
