What do you suggest? That we get rid of the current Saudi government and put Osama bin Laden in power in Saudi Arabia? And turn it into an anti-American fundementalist Muslim nation with control of about half of the world's oil supply? Or that we move all of the five million Jews out of Israel and give the land to Yasser Arafat and put the Jews where?

Maybe you would like the entire world to convert to the Wahabbi variety of Islam, so that the terrorists wouldn't feel that they have an argument with anyone?

Or is your reply (the usual one) going to be that we should just give the Palestinians what they want - a peace treaty that ends the "occupation" by destroying the State of Israel?

Yeah, we must appease the Muslim world a la 1938 Munich by disarming Israel and offering her to them to win the peace for our time.

I have no idea what the solution should be. The only thing that I was doing was questioning so that I can understand better. If the children, and we have seen pictures of them celebrating the deaths of our citizens, are indoctrinated in this from birth, where does it leave us? I have long been afraid that Israel and Palestine would pull us into their fights, if not them than Pakistan and India. We don't need to fight, why should we fight their fight for them? This is nothing new in the region, is it?
