...Sharon's statements suggest there may be some butting of heads when he meets with Secretary Powell on Friday. The extent of Israeli withdrawals thus far have not yet satisfied U.S. expectations. Moreover, Sharon has indicated that Israeli forces will withdraw only as far as self-declared "buffer zones" around Palestinian towns - a position rejected by the Palestinians who insist on full withdrawal as a precondition for any cease-fire. Then there's the matter of Arafat: Sharon warned this week that he believes Powell's planned meeting with the Palestinian leader is a "tragic mistake," and that...
...madness is rare only among individuals. It is quite common in entire nations. The Israelis themselves might reasonably be said to be mad to think they can have a tranquil occupation of Palestinian areas--actually they are merely split down the middle between those who have long wanted to withdraw and those who think land is more important than peace.

Bush continued his criticism of Arafat for not reining in "terrorist networks," but also called on Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territories and halt settlement activity. Bush also announced that he would be sending Secretary of State Colin Powell to the region to take over where U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni had failed, in trying to arrange peace negotiations. Though it gave a positive response to Bush's new intervention...
