May I turn that around to say that it is also naivete to believe that the Palestinian people, living under an evil dictator, have actually all voiced what they really want, and that we know what that is?
Continuing the parallel with Iraq..........did we know what the Iraqi people 'wanted' before Saddam was gone? Sunday we found out, and it was not at all what most people thought.
Right. Let's get all the Jews out of the West Bank and Gaza and arm the Palis in case any of those uppity Jews try to get back in. Great plan.
There are indications of what they want. Well they had elections for the PA council in Gaza recently and Hamas won 75 of 118 seats. We'll see what happens in the West Bank elections. Abu Mazen has been forthright in his refusal to disarm Hamas. He expressed his continued support for the PLO Charter and Phased Plan, which call for the destruction of Israel and explain how they intend to do it during his campaign. He was actively supported by terrorists. Marwan Barghouti was his only serious challenger, had he continued to run. Mustafa Barghouti, the "peace" candidate, got about 19%. Your comparison to Iraq would be valid only if we'd allowed al Zarqawi to field a slate, which we didn't. IMO before rearming the PA police, they need to show their intent to arrest and disarm terrorists, which they've "agreed" but refused to do.
Palies dont exist they are Egyptian and Jordanians. Next they voted for Hamas. Case Closed!
