During the campaign, Kerry proposed doing something similar with Iran - letting them have nuclear technology in order to "test" them - and he was roundly and justly lampooned for it around here. It was foolish for him to suggest such a thing, and foolish for Bush to do it, too.
What does that have to do with anything I posted? We're not
talking about the Palestinians being allowed to acquire or use nuclear weapons or even technology. We're discussing
Bush and Sharon testing the Palestinians by giving them their state, and depriving them of any further excuses that their terrorism was being committed because they weren't being given their own state, and were suffering at the hands of their "Israeli occupiers".
Once they are given that state, there are no more excuses.
And Israel will be given an unfettered free hand in responding to the inevitable attacks which are sure to be launched from the new Palestinian state. Then, Israel can react to these attacks by annihilating the Palestinians once and for all. And it will be clear to all but the most
vile anti Zionists and anti-Semites that the Palestinians
are a terrorist-led people who will have deserved to be wiped out by Israel.
