And added to that the mothers' pride of raising their children to become martyrs. I mean raising your child to become a suicide bomber? [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

And I'm not sure that the majority wants peace. After all the numbers participating in the funeral marches screaming for Israeli blood looks endless on teh TV screen. The younger generations perhaps but I doubt that the older will ever forgive or forget. Until their removed from power (on both sides) there will probably never be any tranquility in that region.
