There will ALWAYS be those who see benefit from undermining peace. My point is and has always been that for peace to succeed, the brave must weather the process and not give in to a tit-for-tat exchange that guarantees failure. Peace will require strong political resolve -- just as the elections in Iraq required strong political resolve despite all attempts to stop the democratic process. It would have been easy to throw up our hands and say "no elections are possible under these conditions", but we did not do that. Israel must not throw up its hands at acts of terror and say no peace process is possible until all terror stops. Otherwise, there is no hope whatsoever, and the path of history will take one final turn into a darkness from which there is no return. IMO this is, literally, the last chance.
