[Wright is right!]

"The goal here is to give the Pales enough rope to hang themselves. And, as someone else on this forum pointed out, possibly the last thing in the world the Pales want is a state of their own, because then they would be out of excuses, and their people would only have their own corrupt government to blame."

Correcto, Larry. The Palies "want the issue," not the solution. Just like the Dems in this country who rail about this or that but resist efforts to actually pass an act that solves "this and that." They'd rather have the campaign issue than the solution.

Arafat is a campaigner - if an extremely violent and terroristic one. That's all he lives for. There is no goal for him, just the perpetuation of violence. The minute there's a Pally state, he has no reason to get up in the morning.

Michael, what is your take on just flat assassinating Arafat? Would that be good, or would that just give the Pales a "martyr?" (as if they need another one).

At some point, I think Israel needs to send an unmistakable message that NO leader will be allowed to be a sponsor of terror.
