Sir Sandmonkey (I hope you understand my need to dignify your moniker):

This is totally off-topic but I was wondering if you saw the news in the NY Post yesterday about the Egyptian Coptic Christian family that was found slain in New Jersey. The father regularly argued with Muslims on a chatroom site. The verdict is still out on motives but here are several (sorry - cut and paste) links:

Unfortunately, It's just too easy for the a**holes on either side (Israeli or Palestinian) to sabotage progress...the retaliation tactics used by both sides are brutal, in that they often target the innocent.

I don't think Ariel Sharon has the vision or will for peace as did Yitzhak Rabin, or for that matter,Simon Perez. Yasser Arafat,I don't think he ever developed the all out resolute determination needed to commit for a two state solution.

I have been to Egypt and the rest of North Africa (mid 60s)and have been following the course of events since then.(Germany,Dachau Concentration Camp in 1962) Of course this does not make me an "expert" but I do have an interest and opinion.
