I don't see how a Pal state helps Bush get reelected anyway

He will be seen as having solved one of the world's most intractable problems.

Of course, the solution will neither be real or lasting. The Palestinians will get a non-viable territory without the full attributes of a state...and the Israelis will be relieved of a burden (assuming the fence is effective).

This state of affairs might last for a few months, or a year, until Bush is re-elected. Then you can count of the Palestinians or other Arabs to commit an outrage that justifies re-ocupation.

The only real solution is "transfer" and the Israelis still don't have the power to do it.

If the Pally state attacks Israel, it could be 1948 all over again -- Pallies running for the River Jordan.

Yes transfer is the only answer, but what is lacking is will to do it not ability. The United States is Israels enemy as long as we do not advocate and help with transfer. President Bushes insane roadmap is a problem as is his total lack of commitment to eliminating all terrorists. Our leaders have been propping up and helping the arch terrorist airfart for so long most of our people have no clear idea of how evil and deadly this spawn of satan is.
