Killer Clown-I love you moniker, by the way--you've made some very interesting points.

You know,the ones [dots] 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.

What about the radicals who wish for an ultimate confrontaton with Israel knowing--at least I think they know--that such a confrontation would result in yet another disastrous defeat? What kind of dot-line are they riding?

The problem is the lack of rationality on the part of the Pals. Ultimate confrontations with Israel are useless and self-defeating. The intifada is painful for both sides but ultimately more so for the Pals.

The question I ask myself is why do the Pals continue if they could clearly have a reasonable negotiated peace? The answer is obvious and supplied by the facts on the ground--they don't wish for a negotiated peace. This is why the concept of an imposed solution has so much merit. I'm surprised it has not been considered seriously.
