Yes. I heard on the radio yesterday (ABC News) that Colin Powell said he expected they would still be dismantled.(despite the murders)

You know, I used to be angry every time one of those murdering thugs blew himself up and killed innocent people. But I see the Isrealis' utter lack of will to defend themselves, to send an unmistakeable message to these vermin, and now all I can feel is pity. I guess it's the persecution complex, or maybe the full measure of the curse of the New Testament - I don't know. I just cannot comprehend how there could be a significant segment of voters that would seek conciliation.
