#1 The U.S. document was recently given to Israel and the Palestinians. It calls on Israel to remove many West Bank roadblocks, improving operations at Gaza's crossings and arrange for truck convoys between the West Bank and Gaza, two areas separated by Israel.

Wunderbar.

#2 The Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, said Israel is planning a military operation against the Palestinians. "We in Hamas are also preparing ourselves for battle, and we expect hot months," he said. He urged all Palestinian groups to "seriously prepare themselves for battle."

Israel: "We should talk about [insert subject of choice here]."
Hamass: "No. I want to talk about battle!"

I sure hope Olmert either steps down or truly figures it out, including getting rid of all cronies who don't belong where he put them.

#3 No incremental alterations to the status quo. Nothing of substance must change until Palestinian recognition of Israel and a genuine abandonment of terrorism happens first. Until then, they must continue to rot and starve. Nowhere has Muslim perfidy and the intolerable lopsidedness of negotiating with Islamic entities been shown to greater effect than in dealing with the Palestinians. That must change for once and all, and the time for it is now.

so it can be extinguished. In the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel: There's a fine line between clever and stupid
