		As the week in which Bush had hoped to achieve a ceasefire in the ever-escalating struggle between Israel and the Palestinians ended, a new spiral of killing was already under way, with Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers moving into the West Bank and Gaza on Friday in retaliation for the latest Palestinian suicide bombings.
		But even as events and actors in the Middle East appeared to spin out of Washington's grasp by week's end, the administration found itself grappling with other problems.

	Building Bridges on Sand: Clinton's Dubious Middle East Peace Initiative
		In his new proposal, he has upped the West Bank ante to 94 to 96 percent and proposes only a six-year deployment along the border, despite the fact that in a crisis this region could become Israel's border with Iraq.
		Clinton's proposals are also politically unacceptable to the Palestinians, who obstinately maintain their maximalist demands.
		By continuing to pursue peace at any price, Clinton is repeating mistakes he made at last July's disastrous summit--trying to induce Israel to concede too much too soon for too little from the Palestinians and pressing ahead without adequate diplomatic groundwork.
