If I were Israel I would set a date when terrorism was going to stop or else. I don't care what that date is, but if terrorism didn't stop I'd move the entire west bank population out of there. I would deport them and never allow them to return, end of story!

I can't imagine a condition where I would accept terrorism from a people sworn to destroy me without adopting such a policy. Irael either has a right to exist or it doesn't. I think it does. And I know I wouldn't put up with what they have.

I really think that is the only solution. I've often fancied a snatch and grab on Arafat, drop him off in Antarctica barefoot with a day's worth of rations.

I agree with you. I'm just saying that the US Foreign Policy stance only makes sense if there is something else going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to.

The issue with not angering OPEC is a non-starter for me. We have oil here, and we'll go get it, if need be. And if push comes to shove, Iraq has some reparations that can be addressed handily by it's oil. We will not be bent over on the oil issue.
