Views of a Palestinian State - Cal Thomas
During a recent interview, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and I disagreed on the issue of a Palestinian state. I think the Palestinians want the state to obliterate Israel...
According to Rice, "The great majority of the [Palestinian] people just want a better life. I just don't believe mothers want their children to grow up to be suicide bombers." Then she added: "If human beings don't want a better future, don't want their children to grow up in peace and have opportunities, then none of this is going to work anyway."
Exactly right.
[T]he State Department view over several administrations [is] self-delusional.

Facing Down Ahmadinejad - Amnon Rubinstein
Israel is not only tiny - a speck on the map - but is totally unprepared for such a destructive blow. It has no shelters suitable to withstand a nuclear bombardment, and has no alternative sites to which people can retreat while awaiting clean-up of contaminated areas.

Well, again, this is why it is called the Washington Times and not the Washington Post. I don't know. Condie Rice doesn't know. No one in the administration knows. No one at the Washington Times, or any conservative paper or pundit that supported the invasion of Iraq has any clue about the mideast. Does every Palestinian want their kids to die in a terrorist explosion? Does every one of them need Israel destroyed? Maybe they would like to see it gone; just like many prejudiced peoples have many similar ideas, but is it a requirement for their lives to continue, or just a hope and a dream? I don't know. And no one else who has chimed in has shown any more knowledge or credibility. If Palestinians are all willing to die for their cause, then who will be left to enjoy this Palestinian state they are trying to erect? One thing is sure, if you start from a stance of hopelessness, their will be no hope.
