I meant implement things that improve the lives and economic well being of your enemies. Trying to improve the lives of your enemies in response to attacks is appeasement. I agree with you that improving the lives of Palestinians will probably reduce terrorism. I probably disagree with you about the extent that it will help. But the idea is simply a non-starter until at least a reasonably sustained cease fire happens, and perhaps until there is some sort of peace settlement. Improving the lives of the Palestinians can help the peace settlement stick but if it is a prerequisite for peace then we have a problem because peace is probably a prerequisite for it. Tim, I agree with most of what you say re it being a non starter right now. As for appeasement, how it's presented will determine how it is viewed. I really believe it can be set up so that both sides benefit. ted
