Like every other "road map to peace", this one is heading into a dark, dead-ended tunnel. When will the US learn that peace in the Middle East is not a simple matter of territory and government? These people HATE each other and have for eons. There is nothing we can do to end the violence.

While I am all for peace in the middle east and an end to all the senseless violence... I keep on asking myself the same question. Why does it always seem to fall on the US to fix these things. I mean when we go and invade Iraq you hear screams of a big bad government beating down a small Arab nation. But when suicide bombers hit Israel time after time after time, all you hear is that the US isnt doing enough.

I hate the fact that these people can't make peace. I would like nothing more that for them to all shake hands and be happy. But lets doing something besides attacking the US for not doing enough, its not our job.

There is something we can do to help end the violence in the middle east; go help fight the terrorists! Unlike Osama, at least we know where Arafat is!

I think we should kill Sharon as well while we're in the area.

Who is "we"? The Netherlands is going to get involved in this mess?

I think we should.

The Middle East is going to love us if we take out Sharon.

We should probably kill Arafat as well just to be fair. That's when other people will step up to lead the terrorist packs and do the same things Arafat and Sharon are doing now. Maybe we should save the ammunition for when we really need it.

Barney, there is plenty of evidence that supports the fact the Arafat helped direct some terrorist attacks. Sharon was elected to lead his country and defend it against attacks. They are nothing alike. I guess there is a strong lack of brainpower in the Netherlands, go back to burning American flags or something.
