JohnM I did read the article, and I've seen similar analysis recently in the French press when the first female suicide bomber went into action. There is a generalized social climate taking hold that is akin to the brainwashing of the previous bombers that legitimizes these acts, and everyone on both sides with the exception of a handful of leaders in Hamas and other extremist organizations has been the loser as a result. Hamas and the other brigades are going to keep pulling the strings to make it worse and worse and worse because it's the only avenue for attaining power for them. If a negotiated settlement of the dispute were ever signed off, allowing moderates to finally run things, they would be the biggest losers. Algeria was not the same situation, and is in a way more complex. People seem to keep bringing it up in the hopes that Israel suffers the same defeat that France did. Yet the country is still a mess even today 40 years after independence, notably there is a durable conflict with the Berbers. Having a non democratic military government hasn't helped matters.
