Abdcthdte; I appreciatte you re-outlining your basic idea, and I think it's a fairly good one, actually. I'm not sure exactly how you'd move in that direction and who has the authority to return the occupied lands. Can Israel do that, assuming the other countries could be leveraged to co-operate?

Would this need to take place in the absolute absence of violence? I ask not because I'm pro terrorist, just to be clear here, but becuase I think one of Israels great policy failures is that they are looking for a complete cessation of violence prior to negotiation. As I've sid, thsi places control of the future on any motivated individual to make a pipe bomb.

Are there any plans like this currently supported by anyone?

I don't mean any of this as sarcastic or provocative. I'm interested in anything that might tunr out to be something besides this hellish stalemate and attrition.
