move?

no, seriously...

first of all, we can't base our foreign policy on whether we will be liked by others for our decisions. we have to do what's right. not necessarily what is expedient or popular. in a nutshell, as long as we support israel we will be hated by arabs. it's that simple. if we are the only think separating israel from annihilation, then we stay the course.

i heard mention of a dmz, that's a start. also, we say we don't want to 'nation build' but a bit of that would go a long way in lebanon--they must have a legitimate govt in order to take any kind of control.

the un being what it is, i'd be more comfortable if nato stepped in instead.

israel has been thru, what, five wars in it's short life? that's crazy. they gave so much a few years ago, but arafat backed out--he and many others don't want a deal. they don't want palestine, they want israel GONE. how do you deal with that? there's no common ground to be reached.
