I Didn't Forget The 9/11 Celebrations: I wrote on RWN right after 9/11 that I wouldn't forget about the little street party the Palestinians had on 9/11 to celebrate the attacks on the WTC and Pentagon... To the Americans, it was a tragedy. To the Palestinians, it was a party.

QUESTION: What do you hope to get out of this meeting and will you be pressing for a quick return to the roadmap or do you think there's a need for a cooling-off period after the Gaza withdrawal?
SECRETARY RICE:... [W]e will try to use the momentum of the Gaza withdrawal to get a return to the roadmap, hopefully, with new momentum. The roadmap has a number of obligations for both sides and we will be talking to the sides about how to meet those obligations... we are very hopeful that the Palestinians will take advantage of the security force reform that is being spearheaded by General Ward but which is a multinational effort to help them in security reform so that they can deal with the terrorist threat and that they can also provide security for the Palestinian people.
