Maybe my latent nazi is coming out here, but I think Israel has done sooo much already, notably Rabin and Barak's efforts, that it can do little more than repeat old offers. More cooperation, sure, but I think it will be completely up to whoever or whatever takes over as head of the P.A. to bring that about. Sharon is no statesman, but he has shown a willingness to compromise, even against his party. He just isn't naive about reality. I see this as a chance to bring an end to the whole mess, or, more realistically, the begining of a war.
