We discuss this because if the world doesn't stay aware of what's going on there, we all loose. No we won't solve it, but we must stay knowledgeable of the facts. Both Sharon and Arafat are playing with fire. And oh yeah like Dent said, it’s fun!
CT, if I recall correctly and I'm not professing to be aware of all of the details, haven't all of the offerings given to Arafat for an independent state of Palestine included conditions that Israel would ultimately retain policing powers? Also, didn't this "independent state look pretty much like it does know with a separation of the West Bank and Gaza? Would Americans be happy if we had a war with China and China agreed to give us our independence but everything between the Appalachians and the Rockie’s would be China and we got the coasts?
Israeli supporters need to come to the realization that freedom to the Palestinians with conditions is not freedom. Until that issue can be discussed and resolved, Israel and the world will not realize peace.
