As to Arafat, too true. Had he still been in the picture, the withdrawal wouldn't have happened, and, even if it had, Egypt would not have stepped in, knowing that they'ed constantly be fighting his cult of personality.
As to Sharon, that's where I got the "I blame Bush". My guess is that this was the result of some very strong-handed behind-the-scenes encouragement by us.
As to Clinton, I'm not sure what he really accomplished, or how his influence led us to this day. Good intentions, huge ambitions, but, in the end, sort of ineffectual, at least in this arena.
