#1 And as an afterthought, the very next blog I browsed, American Kaiser, also uses the word "stupid" with regard to the vote. Looks like opinion is starting to firm up...

#2 Well, it's not too bright a move. Bibi is driving this. I still question whether or not a Palestinian state in Gaza, Sumeria and Judea

can ever be what you call 'viable' but I guess we gotta give 'em the chance huh? I do agree with Goldstein's comment that this decision is a 'slap in the face of America'.

#4 I'll weigh in with a vote for 'stupid'.

There is a battle going on in the LGF comments on this same story. I declined to post, but it's here for those braver than I:

#5 I had chimed in last night-http://markbyron.blogspot.com/2002_05_12_markbyron_archive.html#76477356. It's depressing, as there isn't s Palestinan party willing and able to negotiate a full peace with. We're left with the birds of prey, the hawk Sharon and the falcon Bibi. The left is grabbing the barf bag over the idea that Sharon's now the moderate.

#6 You know, I USED to think Bibi Netanyahu had better sense than this. Hell, he _does_ have better sense than this. Or is he just so consumed with the possibility of knocking Arik Sharon off his perch and becoming Likud's man in the next election that he's forgotten to see the forest for the trees? This hands the Palestinians their rationale to go on fighting on a silver platter. Bah. If I were Israeli, I might even consider switching back to Labor if Likud is going to be such a bunch of tactically challenged idiots...
