#1 This has to be the Laugh of the Day. And only someone of the Arab persuasion would have both the audacity to suggest this makes sense and the stupidity to believe it does.

Road Map?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

#2 I agree .com, give them a 6 month probation to quiet things down, with no incursions into Israel to bomb or snipe, then ratchet up the peace machine!

#3 smn: "I agree .com, give them a 6 month probation to quiet things down, with no incursions into Israel to bomb or snipe"

That was quite sufficient. The rest of it applies to an alternate reality. IOW, the first part won't happen.

#4 No, Arafat wasn't a 'revolutionary' but a simple 'murderer' and 'terrorist'.

Revolutionaries don't deliberately target and murder innocent children ande babies. Arafat gloried in both.

Keep building the fence - build it faster! Until all the bloodletting is done in the upcoming Paleo civil war and they kill each other off in their de-facto 'palistinian state'.

Hamas will never give up murdering innocent civilians -- they are addicted to it.

#7 Dear Mr. Nabil Shaat,
The Road Map is now immersed in liquid nitrogen
together with sperm samples from Hitler and Arafat.
Will be thawed only after the last Jihadi is dead !

#8 Correct Elder!

Whom could Israel sit at a table with among the gun firing horde in Ramallah? ? ? ? ?

#9 The Palestinians wiped their asses on every peace proposal in the last 30 years. F*ck em. The end.

#10 its gonna get complicated now. Of course there will be no serious diplomacy in the short term, as Fred has pointed out. But there may be good reason for Israel to give a few goodies to Abu Mazen, to help him consolidate power. That will mean less "popcorn" and Israel will want something in return. IF Abu MAzen also asks for a "hudna" with Hamas, he and Hamas will really have to deliver - no attacks against Israelis, even in settlements. And a smooth transition in Gaza.

Most of whats important should take place quietly. Much of what Abu Mazen can do for Israel, he cant talk about publicly.

#11 ..."dignity"...

The exact word I would NOT use to describe suicide bombers, Arafat, Hamas, Hexbollah, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, or more recently, the mob that attended the burial today. You don't express grief for someone you loved by joining a mob of people who are completely devoid of self-control. I amazed that Arafat's body didn't fly out of the tilted coffin with all the bodies pushing and shoving like a mob at a concert, hysterical for the chance to rub the coffin and anoint themselves. Passion? Obviously. Dignity? Not a shred.

#15 This guy is asking for negotiations immediately in order to establish that he's the boss and hopefully head off a civil war.

I say the Israelis tell him to stop terrorism for six months as a "good will gesture" (why should the Israelis have all "the fun"?). THEN talk-talk can start.

#17 âThe Israelis used Arafat as an excuse to derail the peace process,â he said. âWith Arafat now gone, they have no excuse.â

Nothing has changed. The Paleo mindset appears not to be any different than before, Arafart or no Arafart; according to them it's still Israel's fault.

#18 Waiting six months to evaluate post-Arafat behavior is a good idea, and it will give time for the stench to clear from Arafat's path to Hell, just in case the next Paleo leader has to follow him.

#19 Monitor the TV broadcasts for type of propoganda. That will tell you all you need to know about the new boss.

These guys have a model by which they will opperate. Unless they have a new outlook then why change the outlook regarding that. Business as usual me thinks unless otherwise noted.

#20 They want them to begin within 6 months? And what do THEY have to do to convince the "international community" that they are not only serious but worthy of negotiating with?

I would say 1) Whoever they "select" as their news leader must be expected to state publicly and without qualification Israel's right to exist and 2) The Palestinians must be expected to be terrorist-act-free for those 6 months.

Not holding my breath on either.
