How does the PA return that ball?

I suspect that if most of the bombings and various attacks could be linked to the Palestinian government, that the US would step in and commit further warcrimes. As it is, the only defence Palestine has against Israel is terrorist cells. It's disgusting that Israel would treat Palestine the way it has been, and it's equally disgusting that Palestinians continue to commit cowardly attacks on Israeli civilians.
While Sharon was moderate in comparison with many politicians in Israel, he was by no means moderate compared to the rest of the world. He is considered responsible for several crimes against humanity, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. His death/removel from office due to medical condition will create a vacume that has just as much potential for bad as for good.
