Pink'un on Palestine

The pink'un shows itself to be pinker than the neo-con Blair on the question of Palestine.

This is from the Financial Times's. editorial for today:

Palestinian reform is only part of the equation. The heavy emphasis placed on responsible Palestinian government by leaders such as George W. Bush and Tony Blair has raised questions in Palestinian minds about their and the Sharon government's longer term intentions. Put another way, the Bush administration has put pressure only on the Palestinians - much the weaker party in the dispute - while, as the Washington-based Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy points out, encouraging Mr Sharon and his allies "to believe they will not need to make major concessions on the West Bank".
