the situation is changing because the pressures brought to bear on it have changed. arafat's death deprived sharon of his main villian, the main signifer on which he could blame the failure of both sides to reach anything approaching a working relationship.
arafat was more important as a signifier than anything else.
parallel: what would bush do if the magic signifier "terror" suddenly went away?
