the security fence without any negotiation with the Palestinians, including just where it goes. and, I really hate to bring this up, why should they? they control the ground. What's in it for them? I don't know if you have ever had a business negotiating course, or not. They tell you that successful negotiations involve both sides feeling they won. It's called win/win.

further, you've lost me. why should the US pay?? We aren't there fighting either side. We have done no physical damage to the Palestinians. And think of what it would do to the deficit. should we take the payments out of our subsidy to the Egyptians?

The Palestinians need to solve their own problems once peace is achieved. Help can be given, by Israel, by the USA, by Saudi Arabia, which has plenty of money. The new Iraqi government could go back to contributing to Palestinian families. But in the final analysis, the Palestinians will have to do it because the rest of the world will soon lose interest. Look at Africa and it's problems if you want an example.
