Power is everything, Tom. Doing the right thing is only second best...at best. However, that said, since Sharon is in the last days of his life and Bush is in his last term, perhaps they will choose the right thing since they have the power now, but will soon lose it.
The more difficult question is: Do the Palestinians want peace? I have seen little that suggests they do. The only way for peace to break out is if Arab leaders, not only Western leaders, stand up and say we want peace and then take actions to curb the terrorists.
This ball is not only in Bush's court. I don't think the Arabs and Palestinians have shown they want peace. Until they do, Israel should not give an inch. The Gaza withdrawal is a good sign but should not be done n a vacuum.
