but what about the fact that there needs to be a moderator (hey, i'm a moderator!) not just for the leaders... but for each person involved (i.e; every inidividual in the area)?

the civil war (essentially) mended the north and south of america -- that was 150 some years ago. lets see ya drive a caddy with NY plates through georgia.

sharon and arafat are both dicks. personally, i think arafat is the bigger ass hole of the two, but if there were a contest and sharon happened to win, i wouldnt be disappointed.

but even if clinton, your god of mediation, or w, jack's god of destruction, were able to jump in and, somehow, place a mighty bandaid on the situation...

there are still MUH-ILL-IONS of people that hate one another, for no reason other than they were raised to -- and most all of the horrible attacking occurances over the past few decades are directly related to everyday citizens, exactly like that.

THEY are the ones that are blowin up cars and cafes and kids.

yeah, i know, the leaders have "been busy" during the planning of these attacks, and they've "accidentally" missed hearing about them or whatever. .... however, y'cant hold the leaders responsible for all of the attacks -- i wouldnt even think most of them.

there is simply years and years and years of hatred in the area. and, again, i dont think any of our "four" options are gonna fix any of them.

...

so should we do a judge judy? is that the "less wrong" of the options? can we bring in the wrestling analogy? and, if so, can i be hulk hogan? palestine can be the iron sheik, israel can be... i dunno... I.R.S?

honestly... i think thats the best way to go. i dont think its the right way, but... i havent a clue on what the right way will be.
