<<your insistence that Bush negotiate in his first term was in retrospect>>

Maybe you're mixing me up with someone else?? I never mentioned anything about first term or second term. The fact that he's done nothing at all to further negotiations is very telling. He's had 3 years since Arafat's demise and still the same stance. Unfortunately he believes trying to democratize Iraq is the key to stability in the region.....look where that's got him today. Not a smart man....

<<and it is unknown if Israel will really have the will to commit a second strike if Tel Aviv is nuked>>

A nuke launched at Tel Aviv would be WWIII....don't kid yourself!

<<It's possible they don't mind the prospect of a nuclear exchange>>

Pure conjecture....you really think they are that dumb? (This is a rhetorical question BTW).

<<What you are saying is that we can destroy the cause by removing the effect>>

No I'm not.....again your assumptions are incorrect. The cause will never be destroyed as long as there are hardline fundamentalists. The cause can be greatly DIMINISHED by compromising on a two state solution. Until the Palestinians have an independent autonomous territory, there will never be peace. This you must realize??
