re: I look for alternatives. I think that's what Andreas is doing as well. tell me of an alternative and don't give that bs about that bombing will continue but eventually may stop (either you or andreas said it). It is not your children that are going to be slaughtered while andreas conducting his experiments. Albert, things are so bad I don't know how it can be started right now, but I suspect it will have to be fairly small at first. Small acts like the Israeli family I saw on the news recently who gave the kidneys of the husband/father killed by a suicide bomber to a Palestinian who needed new kidneys. Its a small thing but it caused the two families to come together and empathize; to get to know each other. At first I think there must be small steps like this one. I also would get rid of Arafat.....he is useless in my opinion. Broker a truce so that a new agreement can be drawn up that clearly provides something beyond simple peace such as economic assistance to the Palestinians in the form of training and jobs, and provides them assistance in overall nation building. I don't think the current Palestinian leaders have a clue how to start the process of building a nation Whereas the Israelis are the most successful nation builders of the past fifty years and are incredible when it comes to economic transformation. With labor costs skyrocketing in Israel, initially at least, the Palestinians can be the source of a cheap labor pool for Israel, and as Palestinians' incomes improve, a whole new market to tap. Plus they can help the Palestinians transform the desert much like they have done through the kibbutzim/rural coops. They are not only productive farm areas but small entrepreneurial operations, inventing and producing related items like innovative irrigation systems that are fairly easy to build and export. Once there is a formal plan for peace and cooperative development, then I think there must be social programs that help each side get acquainted such as school exchange programs so that a new generation can be deprogrammed from the current diet of hate, violence and mistrust. The irony of this situation.....is that the 2/3 of Palestinians who are not terrorists and who want a new nation seem to share the same zeal with the Israeli Zionists of 50-60 years ago. In this and some other ways, the distance between the Israelis and the Palestinians is not so great.....but then there is the history. ted
