You are right, Troll. I reconsidered and think we ought to just give Alabama to the Palestinians, Heck, we still have another 49 states and if we don't want to go thru the mess of figurining out all the star stuff for the flag, we'll grand statehood to the District of Columbia.

I liked your idea of the pig farm, though, except I don't like the idea of an innocent pig going to that big trough in the sky from being at the wrong place at the right time during a gun battle.

But seriously speaking, this DMZ is going to have to be wide enough so folks can't readilly play snipper with rifles. If that is 3 miles then so be it. If a smaller DMZ can be effective then fine but a chain link fence won't cut it. Joke as we may, a buffer is going to be an ingredient in creating any possible chnage for a long range peace.
