Ted re: However, its clearer to me that Israel's show of force, while effective at keeping the Arabs at bay for now, can not be the long term solution. I doubt that Israel views it as a long term solution but meanwhile terrorism reached unexceptable levels. You have friends in israel so you know that israelis are not blood thirsty evil creatures and if they would see any other way....... re: With that in mind, Israel's best hope is to find another approach to solving the problems with its neighbors and the Palestinians. it seems everything possible was tried, including an offer for economic support and development from both US and Israel. It did not work. The unfortunate fact is that Palestinian representatives are the very same terrorists that want to destroy Israel and hence negotiations are useless.It is one thing to say what would be better for both Isrtaelis and Palestinians but the other is convincing terrorists to give up their control - it is not going to happened without US and Israel showing their force. re: I know that when the economic disparity between the Arabs and the Israelis is lessened, the violence will lessen as well. yeh, right, when arabs attacked Israel 1st time around it was a poor country. What was the excuse then? re: Andreas? he thinks that there is an excuse for terrorists, and that by itself is inexcusable and ther will be no peace while there opinions like that -Albert

>. Andreas has suggested economic interdevelopment, and I agree with that approach. Its time for Israel to share its knowledge and wealth with its neighbors. No handouts but technical assistance.....placing plants/factories on the border and employing Palestinians like NAFTA... They started doing that as part of the Oslo accords. Until they had to close the borders, Palestinians were free to cross the borders for employment. Some joint venture factories were established as well, but they were destroyed by terrorists. Problem is, if Israel has to keep its borders closed for fear of suicide bombings, it's hard to let people through for legitimate reasons without hassle. -Z

Ted, Andreas has suggested economic interdevelopment, and I agree with that approach. Its time for Israel to share its knowledge and wealth with its neighbors. No handouts but technical assistance.....placing plants/factories on the border and employing Palestinians like NAFTA...helping the Arabs to reclaim the desert as they have. I know that when the economic disparity between the Arabs and the Israelis is lessened, the violence will lessen as well. So is the moral of the story that a way for impoverished nations to convice some fanatics amongst them to tie explosives around their waist, and kill some Jews or Americans, which will lead to this sharing of wealth. Hmm... Interesting. What do you think the US policy toward countries that are poor, but friendly with the US. Should we nuke them? Joe
