The stupid policy ended up slowing down terrorism, destroyying the infrastructure, and reminding the Palestinians that htey cannot use terrorism as a negotiating tactic.
Unfortunately the Arabists and appeasers in Europea and the State Dept cannot abide by such actions and undercut Israel, thus providing aid and comfort for the terrorists.

I agree that Arafat was using the bombers as a negotiating tactic, he no doubt saw it as the only leverage he had to gain concessions. I no more cared for Arafat's tactics than I do for Sharon's overly brutal response. The extremists on both sides seem to be winning, and that doesn't bode well for any chance of peace over there anytime soon.
