The Palestinians have been fighting ostensibly for the West Bank and Gaza. Now they could have had 95%+ of this territory by signing a peace. Did the offer include water rights? Has anyone tried offering 120 percent? That is what was offered to my wife during her last job interview when they wanted to demonstrate they were serious. If you just happen to give someone what he has been fighting for, you have just rewarded his strategy. Tell me, what is so hard to understand about that? If they had a homeland they wouldn't have to fight for it! There is no link between terrorism and American foreign policy. It has been stated many times on this thread. Terrorists are madmen, Terrorists are irrational. Therefore an American policy move is not a response or reward for terrorism. You sure you really want to reward indiscriminate suicide bombing of civilians by giving the bombers a sovereign state? The suicide bombers do not represent the Palestinians. Don't let the radical elements of a society have so much influence...that's what they want. The Palestinians are in need of assistance so help them out. You really think that will improve the chances for lasting peace? I believe a US foreign policy that moves towards the middle will reduce the terrorist acts against the US. Israel has issues with its neighbors which it has to work out with its neighbors. Zeuspaul
