we are just going to have to disagree on this one. I have no horse in this race, except that I truly hate senseless violence. But, Israel has existed for over 50 years now, and has expanded rather than contracted due to a series of wars which their enemies lost. If I were said enemy, I would look for another strategy. I notice that you didn't offer one.

I read somewhere, a long time ago so I can't attribute it properly, that in territorial conquests like the Palestinian situation, it takes about 100 years for the losers to accept it. Itt mentioned the Norman conquest and several others. All the original players and most of the 2nd generation have to die off. so it looks like, if this is correct, which I don't know, that we've got 35 or 40 years left to go. I hope some kind of accomodation can be reached.
