I'm going to jump on your parenthetical comment, Bruce, to make a point. The
Palestinians have an agenda-- self-determination, Statehood, and peace. The
Israelis have an agenda-- the recognition of their right to exist, and peace.
Muslim extremists have an agenda-- death to the infidels and Israel. 2 of
these 3 agendas can work together; 1 cannot. The Palestinians need to rise up
and take their destiny from the hands of terrorist leaders and place it in the
hands of a Sadat figure (post '73;-)-- I believe that the Israeli GP would
respond in kind. If she ignored *legitimate* overtures of peace from
Palestinians, that's when US pressure could be brought to bear to "persuade"
dissident right-wing Israelis to accept.
