what moderate and modernist elements are you talking about....this is the year 2004......helllllloooooooo...

The very ones who are currently spending their lives being intimidated by the militants.

if they had anyone with half a brain and a little compassion don't you think they might have surfaced by now....

And be denounced as a collaborator by the militant factions of their society?? Hardly. These people are just as afraid of their own militants as they are of Israeli bombs and bullets.

I placing a bet on the what I consider to be the lowest common denominator of most human beings, to live peaceful lives and provide a better future for their children than they experienced themselves.

If those people no longer exist, then it would seem that it is that much more imperative that something be done. Otherwise, we must accept that fate has place the Palestinians and Israeli on the path of an eventual total war of conquest between both sides.

And I reject that we're at that point yet. But I do believe we may very well find ourselves facing such a prospect within 5-10 years, if we do nothing.
