<I really think the region needs someone like Gandhi to emerge.> Perhaps the best hope for that is not a person but a techno-economic development: the new economy in Israel. As the nation increases its dependence upon that economy, it's vested interest is in finding peace, somehow. After all, following all-out war, resuscitating old econ infrastructure is much easier than new econ infrastructure, I would think. It is hard to believe after Barak's hawkish words and the tit-for-tat deeds on both sides of late (and of old, for that matter), but the bottom line remains: Israel has much more to gain than to lose by peace. That sounds like a truism, but it is true now more than ever so in the past, imo. We shall see if in that volatile part of the world that paramount fact makes any difference.

Eric: Lets hope there are just as many things to be proud of -- without forgiveness life is impossible. My own feeling is that people need to be able to believe there is a future for them and their children -- even kids with stones in their hands. There must be a chance for a better future for everybody.
