U.S. options are limited in part because its role has been limited, with the President George W. Bush's administration pursuing what for the most part has been a hands-off policy toward the Palestinians. In public comments Wednesday, Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said that the hope of averting a wider civil war remained largely in the Palestinians' hands.
"Palestinians are going to have to sort out their politics and figure out which pathway they want to pursue - the pathway toward two states living peaceably side by side or whether this sort of chaos is going to become a problem," Snow said.
Thank you Snow. (and the International Herald Tribune)
