It's time we sent troops in there to sort this all out instead of letting the Israelis take care of it. You're probably right.....but who picks up the tab? ted

Z, It's time we sent troops in there to sort this all out instead of letting the Israelis take care of it. First of all, it is not going to happen, second of all, how exactly would the US sort things out? I think the US is sorting things out - indirectly. Taking out Saddam means one less sponsor of terrorism. Next is Syria (and their illegal occupation of Lebanon), which is something the US can sort out as well, by gently suggesting to Syrians to take their troops out of Lebanon (with 200,000 of US troops close to their border, they may listen. If that happens, the Palestinians may just realize that no one is going to come from anywhere to push the Jews to the sea, and the Palestinians may become realistic in their demands, and they may renounce violence. If they do, the pressure on Israel to come to terms with Palestinians will be strong. Joe

Zo Re...Unfortunately, in Israel's case, once the buffer zone is on their land, you end up with an Israel that is six miles wide at its center and more or less indefensible. Well, one way is to exchange land in the Gaza strip for land next to the West bank, and try to make each state viable. Gaza isn't viable by itself either. However, I don't know much about Gaza, and which towns are strategic, so that is just a wild ass guess of one possible solution.
