I've truly appreciated the responses I've had from this thread. You all have captured the great challenge civilization faces, are you are all so correct.

We won't see a Palestinian org come out for peace with Israel until Arafat and his extended mafia is crushed. When and if that will happen I don't know. I suspect it will be within the next few months. I have a gut feeling that things will begin to happen very quickly, very soon.

Yehuda, as for thir willingness, with apparant joy, to blow up innocent Jews, let's see if once those encouraging them are gone if the passion will be the same. Sadly, it may be, and I'll be wrong in my hope.

As for can we find 10 Imams who denounce the atrocities...well, that's a problem to be sure. I know and work with so many folks who are followers of the muslim faith who have zero time for any of the hatred and bile. But then, they escaped, and as my boss says, anyone in those countries with half a brain gets out as fast as they can.

We worry about brain drains here. Over there, the results of the drain have sobering implications.

What makes you think they'll be gone, this addresses none of that. The same Iman's will be preaching, US and EU aid will supply the same textbooks and TV stations that are operating now. Neither Egypt nor the Saudis will mourn Arafat's loss of power, but they won't be changing their ways, nor will they be accepting Israel in their midst anytime soon. This is largely important as an implicit recognition of Israel's right to exist and to some extent control their destiny.
