The telling quote from Rosenberg's episcle is "Our problem is to resolve a conflict that harms American interests throughout the Muslim world, and has done so since 1967." This is naive and buys into the shallow and infantile propaganda that peace in the Middle east will change the Arabs' attitude towards the West and the USA. All it means is that they are a step nearer their goals of conquest and taking over the world and can only encourage them. It shows no real understanding of the situation in the Middle East tied up with the Arab mentality. It shows how their intransigence is a good tactic from their perspective as we have no long term view or patience and the West is inclined to lose focus if things take too long to resolve, whilst they are the exact opposite. They give nothing, make no move, no conciliation, show no reason and in the end achieve their goals. They understand our psychology better than we do and how we don't understand them at all. When I speak about "we", I mean the West in general. As for Rosenberg admiring the Palestinian Authority's adverts, it means nothing and as usual is war by other means, which they constantly apply and morph. Its part of a constant campaign to undermine the israelis and abuse people's ignorance. It is a starnge phenomenon in the West how we seem to have no memory, forget the horrors, bombs, rockets, murders that were perpetrated just this morning or yesterday and we seem to accept that these people can do whatever they like when they like as this is their "nature". I am afraid the the only real answer is real fear and complete, total and utter defeat of israel's enemies. As in WWII where the Allies would only accept unconditional surrender from Japan and Germany and then went on to remake their societies, so we should apply this to the Palestinians. Talk, of course, but there is no other way it seems to bring these people into modernity, civilisation and common sense. Mr Rosenberg, Americas best interests continue to lie with a strong Israel. Knopw thy self, know they friends and especially, know they enemy, which I suspect you don't really.
