But why should we negotiate at all during this terror war?
Because our scant alternatives look problematic. Outright victory -- i. e., forcing an end to terrorism -- is very unlikely.
So, a treaty to end the terror war could be pretty simple. Bin Laden would make a new videotape ordering an end to global jihad, and we would redeploy our troops out of various Muslim countries. We would insist on the right to continue international police, intelligence and special forces efforts against any terrorist activities -- though we would probably agree, quietly, to end the manhunt for bin Laden in Waziristan..
Now is the right moment for somebody, on either side, to step forward and begin the tortuous process of talking peace.

I think he is aiming to be Kerry's Secretary of Defense.
Yeah, the 30's proved that giving the murderous monster what he wants certainly deters future demands.
That would be a good deal for OBL.
But he is too much of a fanatic to agree to it. He and his associates will never agree to give up terrorism, no matter what concessions are made. This forces our hand.
I can't believe anyone is actually seriously suggesting it, but this guy managed to convince himself with some false logic.
All we have to do is give the terrorists what they want, and they will leave us alone.
Let's allow Bin Laden to rule the world, and maybe he'll let us live.
I can't believe these people!
This dumb SOB is actually a teacher???

He must have been the Asst (minus the T) SOD for Bubba eh? The leftists are just insane, that is all there is too that! Thinking people know better.
Isn't this guy a little late. I thought that the left already surrendered.
You've got that right, remember Munich.
This isn't a territorial fight where 2 sides could try to come together.
THEY WANT OUR SOULS!!!!!
How in hell do you negotiate that?
Look at Europe and shudder.

Hey, send him to the Pakistani-Afghan Frontier as our test the waters peace emissary. Tell him to negotiate calmly and not to lose his head...so to speak.
He need's to be retired for the navel college. there is no way I'am going to bow down 5 times a day to a moon god, cause that is what they want.
This is a good one!
And unfortunately, it's true.
I did not know that Neville Chamberlaine had a school of journalism. Be gone, ignorant fools who cannot see beyond their own selfish desires.
OMG! I have never read anything so ridiculous in a national newspaper before. Never.
"With regard to playing a less partisan role in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute, such a shift would simply be a return to President Bush's initial posture toward this intractable conflict."
Gee. What a lot of completely inane blather to get to the heart of just what this guy is aiming for in his argument.
What's nuttier is it's likely that the Nazis were more rational than Al Qaeda and you could have dealt with them...after they killed all the jews and took over the world of course.
Run away! Run away!!
