Do I think that Palestine have been doing the right thing in this endless headache either - no. Do I think that the US taking this stance is going to stop another endless stream of desperate suicide bombers into Israel - no. Do I have a solution - no. Is this stab at the ouija board by GW going to make things worse - yes.
Sometimes you have too, This world is governed by the use of force, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE USE OF FORCE IS RIGHT it just mean exactly what I wrote this world is governed by the use of force. Sometimes you must negotiate with the agressor, sometimes you have to wipe the floor with them, sometimes you have to take what ever they give you. Thses are NOT open for moral debate these are cold hard facts of life. No statement is made about the morality of the use of force, only that it is what governs this world.
