Oh yeah--a "peace line" like in Northern Ireland? THAT really worked well.

All that happens when you build a wall between warring peoples is to drive a wedge further and deeper between one another. It lessens security for people on both sides of the wall.

Repatriation, return of east Jerusalem, it will all have to be right back on the negotiating table now, despite Israeli security fears about them.

These are just some of the long term consequences to the current chaos--once the rest of the world community steps into the security breach left by the current campaign by the right wing militarists in the Bush and Sharon camps, a lot of things the US wouldn't allow on the table in the past, is going to have to be discussed.
