In reply to LH---those are wonderful insights and I must admit that on most points I agree with you. And, yes, Netanyahu is not exactly what I had in mind when I spoke of younger people. He is more in the mold of an American "hawk"---and a bit corrupt. As we all know from a few years back---nothing major, but the type of thing we have gotten from some of our own Congressmen and Presidents.

As to Carol C comments---I spoke of the Clinton meeting at Camp David. I did not refer to Sharon---so that is a bit out of left field. Arafat, on the other hand, has proved over much time to ---as the old westerns used to say---"...speak with forked tongue". (The westerns don't anymore---everyone is PC---by the way---do they still make westerns?)
