I Understand Your Concerns Nadine. Although the example is an isolated one, I'm sure there were other situations around the world where breakdowns occurred for various reasons.The multinational monitoring contingent I am referring to would be truly multinational and of a scale not seen before. >>States have a chain of command and visible actions. Terrorists don't<< Agreed.Which is why I find it odd that every time there is an attack in Israel,the PA is automatically blamed,even when Hamas or I-Jehad takes blame for it.So now,after the fracturing has taken place, and the hard-liners are moving towards Hamas or I-Jehad,you are concerned there is no partner for peace.So you get to battle all and sundry on any level, at any time , anywhere.A million individuals willing to give up their life,one by one, against an army and a reserve that is becoming increasingly demoralized and breaking ranks at unprecedented levels. But you're right.Let's just fogedaboudit.Bibi or Arik will find a way to make thinks right and put an end to the third uprising.Yep,just like the war on terra,it will end with a bang,with the victors triumphant ,and the defeated clearly defined,never to be heard from again. NOT! Oh ya! We have the Iraq war on the agenda that should clean this mess up pretty quick.Ya..that's the ticket.Sure! I just wonder how much more road-kill there will be, as the roadmap to peace is turned into an increasingly winding road, on the side of a cliff,maybe down a mountain gorge. cs.uleth.ca As unpalatable is it may seem to change the current coarse,the hopes of some sort of victory appear further and further away as time passes.As Albert Einstein defined insanity : Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This applies to all in the region BTW. I have no real answers to this Nadine,no more than you do, but after nearly three years and no end in site,I think the smart Israeli people should give Labor a stronger voice, if not outright victory,and try a new approach. Sharon's policies are an absolute failure. OH!And the latest Poll in the US says I am in a strong majority of those concerned with what’s happening, and I am neither Arab nor Jewish.I guess you don’t need to be when it comes to making peace,eh? Take Care. KC@GivePeaceAChance.com haaretzdaily.com WASHINGTON - Arab and Jewish Americans share a similar vision for the future of the West Bank, and want the U.S. government to be more involved in stopping violence in the Middle East, a poll found on Thursday. In the national survey conducted in late October, the majority of American Jews and Arabs reported tracking news from the Middle East closely, with both communities largely pessimistic about the prospect of peace. Still, the 1,000 respondents agreed on the path to reconciliation. About 85 percent of Jewish Americans said Palestinians had a right to live in a secure and independent state of their own, as did 96 percent of Arab Americans.
