There really isn't anyone to negotiate with, so how can negotiation solve this conflict? Arafat has increasingly shown that negotiating with him does no good. He cannot or will not control those who are carrying out these attacks. I think focusing on Arafat is doing more harm than good, at this point. Perhaps if the focus shifted away from Arafat, someone else would emerge who could do more good. Maybe that won't happen but things couldn't get much worse, could they?
