I did title the post "fantasy." I was thinking in incremental terms, in any case. Something akin to a mangey stray dog slithering up to the back of a usually-reliable house and rather than it's getting the usual scraps of meat tossed out, the screen door slams once in awhile instead. Of course the administration is packed to the gills with pro-Israel hawks, or it couldn't be a U.S. administration. But I think Bush is too stupid and/or apathetic to give a damn about Israel either way and just defers to the "wisdom" of others, and I think Powell, despite what he says, understands something of the true nature of things in Palestine but doesn't let on.
