I don't understand one dimensional thinkers like you. Thank God President Bush has a clearer head than people like you. Thank G-d we each support the president in what he has to do. If you are interested in understanding why this "one dimensional" thinker believes we must negotiate only from a position of defeat for the terrorist enemy, read The Haj, by Leon Uris. It dramatically explores the underlying feelings of the participants, in a fictional way, and one that is very pro-West in its viewpoint, but it is one I agree with.

Look, the middle east is horribly unstable right now.
Moving the embassy right now doesn't make sense.
American civilians would be murdered. The middle east will become even more unstable. Large scale war, with an eye toward destroying Israel would probably occur.
Iran and Syria would be happy to jump in and help destroy Israel.
Waiting to move it until things are a bit more stable isn't giving in to the terrorists.
It makes good tactical sense to wait.
