Someone else made a comment in the lengthy thread about the Jerusalem bus bombing yesterday that I thought was very true:

[Paraphrasing: If you are stung by one wasp, you don't seek out that one wasp among the nest, you take out the whole nest.]

Terrorism will continue as long as their is fertile ground (economic, political, religious) for it. Right now, terrorism is politically and economically lucrative for those like Yassar Arafat.

Exactly. We need to give the Palestinians some kind of direct, unambiguous statement on how they can show Israel, ourselves and the rest of the world that they do not represent that fertile ground...in essence, that they are not a nest. If they will do that, then we can work with them to eradicate the terrorists from among them.

If they will not, then Israel has every right, while prosecuting a direct campaign against the terrorists themselves, to push those who harbor and abet them back until they have no more land from which to support the terrorists amongst them.

The sooner they come to that, the better as far as I am concerned.

With todays further horrific attack, the Israelis need to permanently remove Arafat and his thugs and implement something like this solution IMHO.

...and do it regardless of what others think...just like we did and are doing in Iraq.
