I can make the same case for israel in its dealings with hamas. If hamas does win in the elections and is in power, the israelis perhaps should deal with them on issues of mutual concern as it did with the PA during the infitada. The wall is working and Hamas may be rejectionist but reality says they have to work together on some things. The Pal people who vote for hamas are voting for results in improvement of their own daily lives and not on terror gone wild. If the israelis could deal all those years with that dirtbag arafat, they should be able to make minimal contact with the political wing of hamas. Maybe one day we get to where we now are in Northern Ireland and if not i dont think given the wall that israel will be any worse off. mike

Both Iran and North Korea are playing the same game. They want to appear to be reasonable long enough to elicit some concessions. Then six months or a couple years later, they renege on their agreements and enter the next round of negotiations form the strength of their last wins.

Right now the world police force is stretched thin in Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran know this.
