>Z, when do they do that? As far as I can tell, they raise them when the world is expanding economically, and contract them when the world is entering a recession. Seems to me they are just being good capitalists. Well, they haven't actually done it since the '70s, but it's been threatened since. Iraq and Iran are actually calling for it right now. >Its a plan from which to start; a plan that will hopefully normalize relations between Israel and its neighbors. With the exception of the "fair solution", I think most of its deal points are negotiable. >What do you find objectionable besides the "fair solution"? I actually find the full return to the '67 borders pretty objectionable- 12 mile borders for Israel is just not a good idea- however, Israel was willing to do that in 2000 and Arafat turned it down, so I don't think the borders are the real issue here. Besides, it's sorta moot, because the Arabs did say that the terms weren't negotiable anyway. -Z
