The purpose of the road map is to give Israel political cover for eliminating terror groups - it's doing a good job of it too. The backlash against Israel's current open-season on Hamas is muted because it would necessitate dumping the Road Map as well.

IMO Bush learned the lesson of Oslo - Make the process tie the hands of the enemy, not your own.

I only wish what you are saying is true.The Road Map is a Munich agreement orchestrated by Bush to appease his Saudi handlers.
