I am inclinated to give our President George W. Bush the benefit of the doubt on this, yet I know the evil ones will read it as appeasement and their hate, percieved (but absolutely perverted) righteousness and blood lust will be aroused further, not slackened.

You are likely going to be right that the Palis will continue the terror. If they do, they will never have a state. Israel should never agree, and either should we if they continue the cowardly terror campaign.

If eventually they act civilized (which I doubt) and they get a state, and then they continue terror, the puma is out of the bag, and Israel will have right to demolish the state which attacks it.

I'm pessimistic on long term peace. I see the inevitable large scale war.

Lets dont forget some key things that have happened since Bush has been in office. *States are now targets of our military if they merely support terror. I firmly believe that primarily Iran and followed by Syria and the pathetic nuisance of Iraq...will all be targets of our military if they follow the path they are currently following.

I am one American that that considers Iraq effectively neutered - and that Iran (which is the real center of world terrorism) should be first on the list. We should assist Israel in regard to one terrorist org. (Hizbollah) as it is directly trained, financed, and planned for in Iran - indeed Iranians are in Hizbollah.
