I tend to think violence and oppression beget violence. I don't disagree. But it is important to remember that a) NOT ALL VIOLENCE is a result of other violence. The United States was attacked on 9/11 for no reason whatsoever -- other than some terrorists are envious of our lifestyles; and b) some people and civilizations understand only violence. It is kill or be killed. At this point in time, the Palestinian terrorists don't understand anything else. Either way, how would you explain Sharon's approach? Using your insect language, do you truly think it is effective to pull one leg off of a spider? To be frank, I'm in no position to second guess Sharon. It is clear that he targeted a brutal terrorist and my view is a dead terrorist is a good thing, however it happens. Personally, I think the wall is the best solution for the Israelis. But killing terrorists whenever you can is a good thing, and I hope the existence of the wall will not deter them from killing terrorists. Don't you see how his half-baked approach isn't working? The fact is Hamas doesn't want peace. You can't negotiate with someone who doesn't want a negotiated solution. When you are trying to negotiate with someone who has no interest in reaching an agreement, it is essential to turn up the heat until they DO want a solution. Long term, this means killing off Palestinian terrorists, one by one.
