Fayyad run without politics?

Palestinian Leader Maps Plan for Separate State - NYTimes.com: "The plan, the first of its kind from the Palestinian Authority, sets out national goals and priorities and operational instructions for ministries and official bodies. Mr. Fayyad said it was meant to hasten the end of the Israeli occupation and pave the way to independent statehood, which he said “can and must happen within the next two years.”"

Why bother with politics! Let us just have a state! In the spirit of people like the Texas governor Rick Perry, Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Prime Minister, wants to build the institutions of a state in two years. This is pragmatism in action.

One problem is that the capital city of the purported state is going to be situated in East Jerusalem and that Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israelian prime minister does not want to divide Jerusalem at all.

Well, if Fayyad can organize Palestine in two years, I'm not sure I wish him well, because it would probably depend on "magic" and might backfire.

The other thing I wonder about is what will happen in two years if a state have not materialized? Will 80,000 Hizbollah rockets start to fly?
