Todd Purdum's piece, which is right on target, suggests everyone is trying to rethink just what it takes to get some sort of peace settlement What it takes to get a peace settlement is two sides who want a peace, John. If one side does not want peace, then peace can only be forcibly imposed -- this is called winning a war. If Arafat wanted Palestine next to Israel, he has had many chances to get it. He wants Palestine instead of Israel, and he thinks he can get the world to give it to him. People like Todd Purdum are convenient fools to whom he talks of his desire for the 'peace of the brave' -- in English only. At home, he calls for a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem. He figures he can set up the rules so that he sends the suicide bombers while Israel is prevented from fighting back by the imposition of peace talks.
