I Guess That's Their Perogative
New dictator, same idiocy:
The Palestinian Authority on Friday rejected Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's new and seemingly softer terms for restarting peace talks, saying he should drop all conditions for dialogue.
Again, it looks like the Palestinians are holding out for a better deal. Perhaps they're hoping that Britain and France will make up with each other by focusing on something they can agree on: undermining Israel (wont work). Maybe they're hoping that Bush will step up the pressure on Israel (won't work). They might be counting on coalition math to push Sharon to the Left (won't work).
Or they might just be really committed to proving Abba Eban's famous observation that they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
