This is an excellent and very astute observation by you:

It isn't. It isn't intended to. It's to free America to move in the Middle East. It deconstructs the arguments and takes them away. These tired arguments and lies and spins. Everything is being swept off the stage. This is the Palestinians only chance (given by this administration) to get its house in order. After that, what comes your way, is your own fault.

That was pretty much as I saw it as well. A list of requirements, all preceded with the small word if.

If you dump Arafat...

If you stop blowing yourselves up...

If you straighten up you internal mess and clean out the corruption...

If you start behaving in a civilized mannar...

But as Mom used to say, If the dog hadn't stop to $%&t, he'd have caught the rabbit. I don't see the Pali's jumping over themselves to do any of this, hence Israel right to clean up the mess its own way.

I do believe you have hit the nail on the head.
