Fred...>>>- Part of the Arab, and other, cultures is the notion of collective responsibility.<<<

This would be a rational response of a rational man..as I am sure that you are.

But Fanatics are not rational. I think that if you told a Muslim fanatic that if you kill 10 westerners at least 100 Muslims would die, he would come to the distorted conclusion, .."At least I have killed 10 westerners".

The resolution for Arab terrorism is Arab employment. People that are employed don't have time (or the inclination) to participate in riots. When was the last time starting in 1885 that riots broke out in America in a neighborhood that high employment? It never happened.

Look at what Israel is doing today. From what I have read they closed off the border with Egypt, secured large parts of the West Banks and put it in a lock down down mode. By the law of unintended consequences they probably put another 10,000 demonstrators on the street that otherwise would have gone to work. The more force they employ on the West Bank the more it becomes counter productive.

Why can't Israel withdraw from the West Bank, declare victory over the Palestinians and call it a day.Those Israeli's that remained on the West Bank, would have to become part of a new Palestinian State? Because this is where things are headed.

If the old line thinking is not getting results then its time look outside of the box.
