Meryl Yourish isn’t too afraid of the “road map”, because she figures it’s doomed from the start. And what’s more, Dubya planned it that way:
I think the President knows full well that the “Road Map” is doomed from the start. I think he knows that Arafat is still pulling the strings over there, and that terrorism is the lifeblood of the Palestinian Authority. And I think that President Bush is simply waiting for the failure of the Road Map before he tells the “Quartet” that it’s time to dismantle the palestinian terror operations — just like Al Qaeda is being dismantled, and just like Iraq’s dictatorship was dismantled.
Well, planned or not, it’s already a massive failure if week 1 is any indication. Anyone who thinks that this “road map” is going to lead to a real lasting peace is insane.
