#1 The Palestinian leadership say a crackdown on militant groups would spark a civil war.

If that's what it takes, then the sooner the better. At the very least, a civil war would demonstrate that there are some who aren't willing to place their faith in more acts of terrorism against Israelis as a way to get the Palestinian state they seek.

The prisoner issue is one of several blocking progress.

Strange, but I don't recall this prisoner "issue" being addressed in GWB's little roadmap, and it's pretty obvious at this point that Mazen isn't the answer.

#2 Enough already. Let's voiciferously side with Israel, state emphatically that we will NOT negotiate with ANY nation-state (or wanna-be nation-state) that uses terrorism as a means of achieving its end, and let the chips fall where they may.
