The Americans and the Europeans and the Israeli will never tire from their attempt to impose "leaders" on the Palestinian people. But in the case of Sari Nusseibeh, this is the best description of him that I have read: Ayalon's guy. "Is Sari Nusseibeh, the secular Palestinian, the symbol of moderation, Ayalon's guy, burying the two-state solution?" (thanks Kamal)
