Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "None of the neighbors have shown any eagerness to fight on the Palestinians' behalf lately; they just like to keep the conflict simmering, though by now it's starting to boil a little too hard for their comfort." None of the neighbors of Mexico even wanted to keep the conflict simmering. Re: "So yes, the hypothetical Palestinian leader would have been reviled in many quarters and might have gotten shot." This is exacly my point. If Israel's plan for survival in the Middle East is to hope for a Palestinian leader who is suicidal and bent on being reviled both now and in the future, then I'd say that they need to rethink their position. Peace, other than a complete victory (i.e. the destruction and elimination of the other side's pretensions to ownership of the whole country), is not going to happen in our time. -- Carl
