Yes, events have a way of doing that where PA compliance is concerned. But why now give it a try!
The Palestinians themselves are expected to prove, or disprove the viability of the Road Map by fulfilling, among other things, the following obligations (rehashes, though more lenient, of their non-accomplishments for a decade, but who holds that against them?) by May, 2003 (or maybe within a 2 or 3 month extension). If you believe these will happen in the next couple months (most should have happened already), then the Road Map is viable. I think GWB may well be giving them a final (undeserved) chance to display their duplicitious nature. Given the cost in American blood of our operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, I doubt GWB is anxious to create another terrorist state in such close proximity to Syria to take up the regional mantle from Sadaam.
