#1 But Russiaâs U.N. Ambassador Sergey Lavrov disagreed, saying he would like the Security Council to approve the resolution unanimously next week to coincide with the formation of a new Palestinian government.

As long as Arafart has any kind of control or say in Palestinian government, nothing that is put forth will be anything "new".

#2 On the other hand, a unanimous UNSC resolution would make it "the UN's 'road map'" instead of "the Bush 'road map.'"

I notice it's the Quartet's 'road map' when things are looking up, Bush's when the boomers are booming...

#3 So Fred, you don't think this is a Russian offer to take the lead on the old peace process. I agree. I see this as an effort to solidify whatever boundaries were drawn up in the Vienna farce to be followed by a demand that Israel stop fence/wall construction and pull back out of specific settlements.
