Everyone from fashion designers to cosmetics companies to small-town malls is praying that Lundgren's strategy works.

But absent Palestinian reciprocity, it was a policy of unilateralism. Sharon departed from the Israeli paradigm?historically characterized by capturing a chunk of land and demanding, for its return, negotiations and recognition of Israel as a legitimate state. He called for a viable Arab partner with whom to negotiate. The acceptance of that shift by the nation's majority is a legacy?and unique to the Kadima Party, which...
