<I really think the region needs someone like Gandhi to emerge.>

Perhaps the best hope for that is not a person but a techno-economic development: the new economy in Israel. As the nation increases its dependence upon that economy, it's vested interest is in finding peace, somehow. After all, following all-out war, resuscitating old econ infrastructure is much easier than new econ infrastructure, I would think.

It is hard to believe after Barak's hawkish words and the tit-for-tat deeds on both sides of late (and of old, for that matter), but the bottom line remains: Israel has much more to gain than to lose by peace. That sounds like a truism, but it is true now more than ever so in the past, imo.

We shall see if in that volatile part of the world that paramount fact makes any difference.
