I agree, but there might not be another choice. They are seeking a solution to the problem and a Palestinian State might be the answer.

Unfortunately, the result probably won't be reduced terrorism, it may likely result in increased terrorism. Giving in to terrorism is likely to increase their confidence and give them the impression that terrorism works.

You and I would like to see a stepped up war against terrorism and a harsher reaction to the Islamic threat. Unfortunately, that might not work either. My opinion is that nothing will prevent this from eventually escalating to a full on World War III. The civilized world against Islam. It might take a decade or more to get to that point, but I suspect that in the end that will be unavoidable.

IMO,
Dave
