>That would be my solution to the problem. Unfortunately for many Israelis, this would be seen as making concessions to terrorism. I don't agree, which is why I'm a firm believer in the carrot-n-stick method of foreign policy. Not at all. That's not the concern- actually, such action is supported more by the right than the left in Israel. Netanyahu's chomping at the bit on the sidelines right now waiting to do something like that. Sharon wants to create temporary buffer zones which would eventually be turned into a permanent situation. There are a few problems: 1. The world just doesn't seem to like it when Israel does ANYTHING unilaterally. 2. Expelling Palestinians would add more fuel to the fire, and it'd be necessary in my scenario. 3. All of the Arab countries would likely immediately declare war on Israel, and there's a real Israeli fear that the international community would force Israel to fight such a war with one hand tied behind its back. 4.
