Now, now. No need to get nasty about our President or Americans in general. When you calm down, you'll find that we're pretty good-hearted people who generally try and do the right thing.

I don't understand how the US government -- even the State Department -- can believe that it is in our national interest to create a state for the Palestinians when they are demonstrating for Saddam and actually sending busloads of soldiers to fight for Iraq!

IMO, the right course of action is to take the west bank "refugees" who have refused to resettle since Israel was founded, and who live in refugee camps maintained by the UN (and our tax dollars), and to ship 'em off to live with their brethren in the Palestinian kingdom of Jordan. The other non-Israeli residents of the west bank already have Jordanian citizenship, and they should be permitted to stay in the west bank and continue to hold their Jordanian citizenship. However, they should be repatriated to Palestine/Jordan if they commit acts inconsistent with recognition of Israel. Finally, I think that Israel should become a federated country, with the west bank and Gaza being one or two states among six or so -- the galilee, the heartland, the negev, etc.

What if they don't want to go? What then?
