Why not NATO or a UN peacekeeping force? Because, if push comes to shove, we need somebody he will knock the other guy down and stomp his head into the dirt- -and the other guy knows it. Not argue about it into the next millenium. It's called "credibility". Arafat can stay, however, if his people elect him. Nuts. He's part of the problem. That terrorist goes. As to the Palestinians dealing with us, what makes you think dealing with 'us' is worse than dealing with them? Who is "them"? And our job is teach them that dealing with us is worse than dealing with "them". that Israel recognize the pre-1967 borders? The Arab states have never recognized even the right of Israel to exist. That's a condition. And Israel gives up its settlements. The only thing different in your scenario is that Israel would finally have to deal with some entity beyong its borders. It wouldn't be just "some entity". It would be the most powerful military force on the planet. One they have no hope of defeating. All in all, not a bad approach, Lazarus. Still needs some tweaking and still lots to figure out like who gets what priority over the respective religious shrines, etc. How about if those disputed religious areas become neutral, UN-controlled and administered or where one side gets access on the even-numbered days, the other side on the odd numbered days, sorta like inner city parking--lol? Make Jerusalem an international city. It belongs to no nation.
