OK...so the road map just died. What happens now to...
Bush's advisors who are rabid "Christian Zionists?" Like Tom DeLay, et al?

All Sides Failed to Follow 'Road Map'

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56316-2003Aug27.html

But now, Israelis and Palestinians are at such an impasse that officials on both sides say there is little prospect of reviving the initiative soon. "The cease-fire between the Palestinian factions overshadowed the first phase of the road map," said Yossi Beilin, who has played key roles in Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations for the past decade on behalf of Israel. "The world went on vacation and left us alone. When the cease-fire broke, it exposed an unimplemented road map, and we did nothing. We are back to square one."

2. They continue...
just like before the roadmap. They yell about how Israel is completely blameless and needs MORE US dollars.

3. Palestine says they will be a binational country now. They'll stay put.

And in twenty years they'll outnumber Israel. I don't see Israel accepting that.

Christian Zionism: Dispensationalism And The Roots Of Sectarian Theology

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4531.htm

snip ...

2.4 An Apocalyptic Eschatology

Crucial to the dispensationalist reading of biblical prophecy is the conviction that the period of tribulation is imminent along with the secret rapture of the Church and the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in place of, or along side, the Dome of the Rock. This will signal the return of the Lord to restore the Kingdom to Israel centred on Jerusalem. This pivotal event is also seen as the trigger for the start of the war of Armageddon in which most of the world's population together with large numbers of Jews will suffer and die.<[23>]

Convinced that a nuclear Armageddon is an inevitable event within the divine scheme of things, many evangelical dispensationalists have committed themselves to a course for Israel that, by their own admission, will lead directly to a holocaust indescribably more savage and widespread than any vision of carnage that could have been generated in Adolf Hitler’s criminal mind.<[24>]
