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.
