Actually, I'm watching him right now... (normally can't stand H&C, but since he was a guest.. :0) I admire Netanyahu.. He's tough, former SpecOps, and very articulate. And he understands that Arafat is the real obstacle to a Palestinian state. Israel CANNOT permit a dictatorial state sharing "inside lines" to the heart of Israel. The only way peace can occur in "bibi's" mind is to have a moderate.. He just stated that his idea of a "palestinian state" is an entity that has all the benefits of a state, but no ability to destroy Israel. Btw, his brother was the only Israeli casualty in the Entebbe raid. If Bibi comes to power, he might just be willing to dispense with Arafat and take the necesary action to clean house on the West Bank. It would cause him temporary international political pain, but I believe he has the intestinal fortitude to do what it takes to bring a mutually beneficial peace. And he has the charisma and verbal ability to make his case to the American people, and the rest of the European community, as well as the Russians. Hawk
