Charles Krauthammer declares the Palestinian intifada over:

The end of the intifada does not mean the end of terrorism. There was terrorism before the intifada and there will be terrorism to come. What has happened, however, is an end to systematic, regular, debilitating, unstoppable terror — terror as a reliable weapon. At the height of the intifada, there were nine suicide attacks in Israel killing 85 Israelis in just one month (March 2002). In the past three months there have been none.

That is pretty darn amazing. Astonishing, really, given Palestinian preclusion for suicide runs. It’s not over, as Krauthammer notes, but the table has suddenly shifted in Israel’s favour because they dealt with the terror rather than coddled it.
