In fact, in A Durable Peace, Netanyahu, meeting with Clinton and Arafat at Wye made a condition of getting back some control of the land... the elimination of Article 22. This is the article the calls on the destruction of Israel. Arafat said yes. Clinton said, "there you go." Netanyahu said "we'll see." Well, as soon as Arafat returned to Ramallah, he reneged. He didn't get the land. Clinton is all mad at Netanyahu who could care less (my opinion that) because Clinton took Arafat's yes at face value.
By the way... LOL on the Clinton remark.
And Eric, flinching on Lebanon and flinching on settlements two different things in my book.
I'm reading a huge history on Israel, and I just finished the Lebanon campaign.
Everything I've read about Sharon has been negative. I think it would be interesting to read a fair and balanced viewpoint on this great warrior.
