[Arne]: "Jerusalem should be an open, international city, open to all and under U.N. mandate or something."

Sorry, that was proposed in 1948- The Jews accepted it, but the Arab nations rejected it out of hand. Then spent from 1948 to 1967 preventing Jews from having access to their holiest site.

And this makes my suggestion a bad idea exactly how?!?!?

I'd note that present sentiment and the present situation don't match the above, though. It seems that 'possession is nine tenths of the law'. I still say, in that regard, a pox on all their houses.

Cheers,
