It's interesting how everything in the middle east is phrased in terms of the "Palestinian Problem."
No one ever talks about Sharon's problems: For example, with the settlers movement.
Sharon is under threat now from the settlers who don't want to give up on the idea of a greater Israel on the West Bank...... Still no one in the international community thinks that Israel has the right to occupy the West Bank forever, or to annex it into Israel.
So the REAL PROBLEM is with Sharon.... Sharon should be the one Condi "helps."
Perhaps if Condi would start demanding some real action on the part of Israel on settlements and not continue setting up Catch-22 situations for the Palestinians something could be accomplished. Perhaps if Dubya & Co would provide some "cover" for Sharon with his ultra-right wing settlers....something could be done.
The really odd thing is that while the world at large sees Israel's occupation as the problem....
Dubya & Co insist that "the problem" is only with the Palestinian leadership and the terror/freedom fighters inside the occupied lands.....
Once Dubya and Condi start providing "help" to the right party....this "middle east thing" could solve itself rather quickly.
