<< I guess the big reason is one of principle. >>

You want another terrorist state created in the Middle East out of "principle"? How noble of you.

<< One would like to see the Palestinians root out this evil on their own. >>

The Palestinians celebrated the Sept 11th attacks on America. They dance in the streets when a homicide bomber blows up Israeli children. They murder innocent Palestinians and Christians, within their control, without fair trials. They have one of the most brutal and corrupt leadership. And...... you think this makes them worthy of their own state?

<< One would like to see the region move forward out of the dark ages into the 21st century. >>

Pretty words. You remind me of Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

<< Do the Palestinians have a right to their own country? I would answer that question with a yes and add that it's unfortunate that this country wasn't created 54 years ago. >>

54 years ago, the Palestinians didn't have the vast number of deranged terrorists that they have now. Besides that, 54 years ago, the West Bank was part of Jordan. What would you have done 54 years ago, want to start a war against Jordan, so that you could create a state for terrorists from all parts of the Middle East?

<< I'm not so naive to believe that creating a new country will solve every issue ... >>

I think that your naivety has set a new record on SI! <g>
