Nadine,
The only solution that makes sense after reading your post is the Jordanian solution we discussed last week. And because it makes so much sense, it will never happen. For the Palestinians to be made whole they need to be part of something larger, both geographically and spiritually, than a non-viable, morally bankrupt west bank rump state.
So today's question would be how the US can incent the arab states(jordan, egypt, saudi arabia) to bear this burden. If this can be done the world ultimately will be a safer place and few will mourn the death of the west bank state. Mike

One other thing regarding the wall apart from my other comments. The wall should be on the palestinian side but should try to mirror the essentials of the barak/clinton border line. That will be more acceptable to the euros, other arabs et al if it is not seen as a land grab. Of course it will not satisfy all of them. I think the US will tacitly support a fair demarcation of a border. mike
