I don't think so. The goal here is to give the Pales enough rope to hang themselves. And, as someone else on this forum pointed out, possibly the last thing in the world the Pales want is a state of their own, because then they would be out of excuses, and their people would only have their own corrupt government to blame. On the fence, my understanding was that Bush didn't say, "don't build it."

Correcto, Larry. The Palies "want the issue," not the solution. Just like the Dems in this country who rail about this or that but resist efforts to actually pass an act that solves "this and that." They'd rather have the campaign issue than the solution.
Arafat is a campaigner - if an extremely violent and terroristic one. That's all he lives for. There is no goal for him, just the perpetuation of violence. The minute there's a Pally state, he has no reason to get up in the morning.

Unfortunately, they've been given more than that - they've been given enough rope to hang innocent Jews.

This comes damn close!

"Bush administration officials are considering a reduction in loan guarantees to Israel as a penalty for constructing a security fence to separate Israelis from Palestinian areas."
