I like the way you think... Read Benjamin Netanyahu's book "A Durable Peace"... it is very good and eye-opening.

I am so relieved you agree, because you clearly know more about the whole situation than I do. Mine is a fairly gut level reaction from pretty casual observation. Men wearing suits negotiating with people the likes of Arafat is exactly the same as paying ransom to kidnappers. They don't deserve the legitimacy, and I wish we would untie Isreal's hands. Course we would then have to protect them after they kick the Pali's butts, but that would be more satisfying than this current state of affairs.
