    *Hey Mike! Everything well? You still have the 345?;)

    *Tarek: glad to hear that you and your family are doing well. I just watched the movie you posted (about the US embassy van). Bad things have taken place there :( It really touches me when seeing such things. Please take care and build up your beautiful country :)

    Glad to hear you and your family are well

    Strange how all this happened only a few days after we were talking about the political situation on your trip to London

    The Egyptian revolution has been very inspiring. A very powerful response to all those, who don't believe that yearning for freedom is universal. Congratulation, Tarek, your country is light upon other nations right now.

    This probably belongs in P & R, but you'll notice that this poster never addressed the posted issue. Not once. Problem is, Israel can't continue with this behavior forever, and sooner or later the piper is going to come calling. Dumb on their part.

    Art,

    During 2000, Barak offered 97% of the contiguous territory, the Palestinians had asked for. Arafat rejected this proposal. Arafat walked out of Camp David. Sharon unilaterally withdrew from 100% of Gaza. I am sure you know, about the 7000 (+) ground to ground rockets, fired from Gaza, into Israeli civilian towns. That did not go so well.

    Giving concessions to corrupt military dictatorships, minority monarchies, and backwards fundamentalist Muslim theocracies, is never going to work.

    A Jewish peace group analyzed that offer. I've posted that before here but can't find it again but in sum and substance they found while the percentage was correct what was offered wasn't governable because Israel kept jurisdiction over the roadways cutting control over most of the area. Additionally, the 3 percent retained had a very disportionate share of water arable land etc. Was never going to happen. I'll look for the site.

    The PLO isn't religious. Confusing the religious nut cases with them isn't valid. Both the Muslims, christians and the Jews have their share of religious nut cases, and it's best not to confuse them.

    What Art means is, the PLO does not have the advancement of Islam as one of its goals. It does not have a religious agenda. And yes, it would be wise not to confuse nutcases.

    According to the book Blunder, Why Smart People Make Bad Decisions, this was one of the fundamental problems with the Bush Administration, they didn't distinguish between different ideologies, and lumped everything into "the terrorist enemy" bracket.

    As you can see, it isn't quite as simple as you believed it to be. Here is a summary of the peace plan:

    http://www.mideastweb.org/campdavid2.htm

    Again, with the road to the various settlements remianing in Israeli control, and with Israel controlling the water, there wasn't much that would have survived. That is why the deal didn't go down. It's unfortunate that our press provided such a great lack of detail.

    Art,


    Imagine Arafat ruling by force, all of The Bay Area.

    I am sure you would have no issues, with his autocratic corrupt military dictatorship governing your town :).

    That isn't an excuse for my cousin's behavior. Kinda like Johnny jumped off the bridge so it's ok. Didn't work when I was a pre teen, doesn't work now.

    Of course, it is all B.S. to you, because you live in a free and open modern society.

    The Bay Area, provides you with your security blanket.

    Outside of San Francisco, the world is different.


    If you lived in Ariel, you would feel completely different, knowing what kind of people are just down the road, and how a corrupt autocratic military dictatorship, will never bring any type of peace.
