Re <<They felt they had offered the Palestinians much of what they wanted and the Palestinians had spit in their faces>>

Gee, I wonder how Palestinians feel. I am going to go on the limb and say they feel the same.

What did the Palestianians offer? Israel made huge concecessions and didn't even get back disagreement and continued negotiations but rather violence. I can't see how Israel can give much more then they had offered. What would you have them give up in addition to what was allready offered? Maybe they could give a bit here or a drop there in addition but what major additions could be offered and still leave Israel with borders that they have any possibility of defending? They offered what for years and been off the table. An independent Palistinian state, and they offered it over 90% of the territory in question.

Oh very nice, you are quite a visionary. Iran, Pakistan and Iraq, 100+ million strong are both itching to test out their new chemical, biological and nuclear technology carried and supported by their new ballistic programs.

If they develop nukes and are that irrational then there is little hope for the region. Israel would also use its nukes and many of those 100+ million would be dead. Personally I don't think Iraq would expose Baghdad to nuclear attack because they want to support the Palistinians. I hope I am not wrong.
