Come on, all of them are stooges and we cannot expect anything from them! nothing. no peace.

Bush is an idiot, no doubt about that, he is probably the dumbest US president ever.
Abbas? this guy has no power, no charisma, nothing. Arafat was probably the only Palestinian who could have brought change.
Olmert? another idiot, even though more clever and sly than Abbas and Bush. he has no power, he just came into political power because of Ariel Sharon.
To sum up, I think that probably Sharon and Arafat, both hawks, were the only who could have brought peace and a two-state solution.
But both of them are gone now.
