Milosevicz also had the support of the Serbian people. Until the day after he was deposed, when you couldn't find a single person who had ever supported him. It seems to me that the central difference between Nadine and others on this thread is that she believes that the ultimate goal of the Palestinian leadership is to destroy Israel (please correct me if I am wrong about that). If you were to accept the fact that this is the Palestinian goal then I think the current Israeli actions are justified. Does anybody believe that you can negotiate with an enemy that only wants your total destruction? Israel would first have to negate even the thought of this occurring before negotiations could ever bear fruit. OTOH....if you believe that all the Palestinians want is a two-state solution then the current attacks are counterproductive. Israel will never be able to remove that goal from the Palestinian mind (nor would they be justified in doing so). Each person's position follows almost inexorably from their reading of Arafat and the rest of the Palestinian leadership. Slacker
