a. sharon was about to easily win the forthcoming elections in march. it's almost certain that whomever wins instead, would be a bigger supporter of (what used to be) the peace efforts, but the downside is that there's no way that a new prime minister would be as politically-safe and as potent as sharon was in the last few years, so he/she would be more hesitant with this political nightmare.

b. at the moment no real bilateral progress can be achieved anyway, because there's no governing leadership on the opposite side.

c. either way, the fate of the middle east is no longer orchestrated in jerusalem but in washington, so as long as you guys f**k up with your electing, we're equally screwed here.
