Don't Reinvent the Wheel
Tom Friedman's column from this morning, and a peacenik's response:
_______
Friedman in this article says that the US has to shape an alternative to Arafat--he doesn't recognize that the Palestinian Geneva partners already exist, nor that Sharon came up with Gaza withdrawal not simply because he "has finally realized the demographic threat posed by Gaza to Israel and wants to get out" but that he recognized that the Geneva Accord put a viable plan for a two-state solution out there and he wanted to take attention of that so he could hold onto the West Bank.
