Sorry Jerome-- I'm still missing your point on what action the US should take. I agree with your analysis and think there are positive alternatives. In my lifetime we took as a truth that Germans and French would always be enemies. Common economic interests now bind them. I must add that years ago the rehabilitation model dominated the criminal justice system. I was for it. It failed. fred

But, Jerome, how does Israel make peace when the Palestinians won't do it. How much more can be offered without jeopardizing Israel's own existence? They were offered all of Gaza, most of the West Bank and the Arab half of Jerusalem including the Temple Mount. Also, additional land was offered to compensate for variations from the 1967 borders so the Palestinians would be "whole" (in terms of the pre-1967 land). Certainly SOME MINOR details MIGHT be objectionable, but, honestly, what else can be offered? And again, even IF the Palestinians got the whole of Israel, the Iraq-Iran and Iraq-Kuwait experience shows that the Arabs would STILL be a thorn in our side.
