Tear-jerker of an interview with the young man who lost the girl he was to marry the next day along with her father to the latest suicide bombing. Don't know how, but I had missed this little factoid before:
In response to how he felt about the news that the man responsible for the attack was among the 343 Palestinian prisoners released this summer, Sand said, "I never believed in peace. I knew it was a mistake, I didn't believe the lack of peace could impact me so much."
Good Lord.
I guess that's what "good will gestures" will get you - what trying to appease someone who means you know good will what so ever gets you. How many times does this have to happen before people get it? You cannot deal with people who's only goal is to destroy you. You have to deal from strength and present them with only the choices YOU choose to offer. [Helen Cobban, call your office.]
I wish I had the answer. I hope Arick is working on it. The waltz at the muqata goes on...
