I'm inclined to agree, although many people say that Arafat could not politically agree to demands to allow Israel to maintain checkpoints and a gridwork of security roads in violation of Palestine's promised sovereignty. But to allow Israel to assuage its security concerns, and get statehood for Palestine, I see little alternative. Both sides have bitter pills to swallow if they want a cure for the violence.
Dave TWB disagrees with me on this, and my debate with him simply seems to have pulled him further away, so perhaps we should leave it there!
