Charen on the road map

Mona Charen in the Washington Times explains why the road map to peace will likely lead to a dead-end. She notes that the new prime minister, Abu Mazen, is a long-time Arafat deput “who has a tenuous grasp on power and no democratic legitimacy.” Moreover, Mazen has said that the final Camp David meeting, where the Palestinians rejected enormous concessions beyond which no Israeli government is likely to go, presented no opportunity for peace. And he insists on the so-called “right of return” for Palestinians, which would lead to the influx of millions of hostile Palestinians and thus kill the Israeli state.
