>>Wish I could find someplace to fault him, but I cannot<<
Unfortunatley,you too often look at things the way many want you to,or the way you yourself want to and want others to.
But I will say one thing in our old friend Dave’s favor.He is right that if this one blows up in our/their faces,it may well be the final blow to any chance of peace for decades to come,if there is anything left worth making peace for.
Bush has cleared the way by giving Iraq an enema ,no doubt part of the " deal " with Arik,that if successful , would have them both emulated as joint Nobel Peace Price Laureates ,and virtually guaranteed re-(s)election.
If after this they are unable to navigate the treacherous waters of reconciliation ,due to special interest groups sabotaging the process and being allowed to have their way against the World's ONLY superduberpower and it's little cousin, the ME Superpower,then its obvious that terrorism does indeed get results.The fallout will be monumental.
But that is where you both lose it Nadine.You are unwilling or unable to connect those two simple little dots.You know,the ones that draw the connection between the radicals and their desire to quash the peace process.Until this is spelled out clearly and handled from that very perspective, both Hamas and those in Israel ( or the US ) who don’t want this to work will be allies.
The road needs to be driven ,regardless of distractions and hazards,and those groups need to realize they do not have the means to crash this vehicle.They need to know that they are “ irrelevant “,and the process will continue with or without them.It will be at that point where those who want peace will turn on those who are attempting to derail the process,if they feel the process is fair and are given the opportunity to clean up their own backyards.
Every bombing,every incursion ,every setback,must be considered just a bump in the road,if they really want peace.
The alternative is not pretty.
