4. No Bush will only do it for the Saudis and the Energy Industry
Don't be naive. "Petroleum Politics" and "Petroleum Diplomacy" is the problem, as are the "Petroleum Players" like ExxonMobil CEO Lee R. Raymond and TexacoChevron CEO David O'Reilly and George Walker Bush and his buddy Saudi Prince Bandar. See House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties by Craig Unger.

Abbas, Sharon - mere bit players - and the Palestinian people and the Israeli people - the proletariat - the REAL victims - are even smaller players in a horrible giga-Euro, giga-Dollar, giga-barrel, game of "Petroleum Politics", pawns on the sidelines of "Petroleum Politics" playing the hands they were cruelly dealt 90 years ago by the British and the French in the Sykes-Picot Agreement (which deliberately screwed the Lebanese, the Israelis, and the Palestinians for generations -- all for "Petroleum Power Politics" and "Balance of Power" and British hegemony in the Eastern Mediterranean).

Read Engdahl, A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order.
