#1 embracing a two-state solution between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

But a pre-Churchillian multi-state solution for this bloody Iraqi mess continues to elude us? The Kurds already have a neat flag, lets get with the program! WTFO?

#2 In a July 27 letter to Bush, 34 prominent evangelical figures -- including heads of Christian universities, magazines and organizations -- wrote the president that we affirm your clear call for a two-state solution, and called on him to proceed confidently and forthrightly in negotiations with both sides in the region.

Which all goes to show that delusional behavior is not confined to Islam or the Oval Office. These are the leaders of churches that are daily being assailed by largely unopposed Muslim radicals. How much more idiotic is this supposed to get?

The only way to bring the tragic cycle of violence to an end is for Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a just, lasting agreement that guarantees both sides viable, independent, secure states, the Christian officials wrote.

Which one side does not want at any cost because it means abandoning an age old commitment to total genocide. How can Christian and Jewish clerics be so blind to such an undying hatred?

Yes, it is foreign. Yes, it is even alien. Yes, it is a complete and total threat to everthing a non-Muslim holds dear. How is this so difficult to understand?

#3 If those morons - and I give no credence to anyone of these dhimmis - would take a second to ponder on what Fatah would do with a sovereign West Bank, they might take a look at Gaza. Moreso, over 2 million Christians have been ethnically cleansed from the West Bank.

The Arab- Jew problem is not a matter of human rights violator v victim; it is genocidal Islam v the world. Israel is the frontline state in defense of free people everywhere. The Arabs and their supporters can go to hell.

Have you noticed how Condi gets dry mouth whenever she has to talk about 2-state madness? Dry mouth is a sign of verbal deceit. She doesn't like playing the beggar.

#4 I bet the Israelis are looking forward to the day when they can afford to tell us to shove our foreign aid up our ass. It comes with too many strings, we've caused them a lot of heartache over the years with our persistent demand that they treat the paleos like humans. If we don't quit injecting ourselves into their politics we are going to get them all killed.

#5 I love the picture, and I do want to see the play before I comment.

#6 wow, some evangelicals who support the POV of the current Israeli govt, instead of attacking it for betrayal, and adopting the positions of NRP and National Union. I, for one, see this as good. Folks who actually support the Bush approach. Whereas previously it was either ultrahard line evengelicals, or liberal churches, who barely acknowledged Israels right to exist in security, and flirt with boycotts of Israel. Its good to see a rational, centrist Christian voice emerge.

#7 "But a pre-Churchillian multi-state solution for this bloody Iraqi mess continues to elude us? "

The Iraqi state has existed for over 80 years, whereas there has never been a united independent state with de jure control ove "Palestine/Eretz Israel" the land between the Jordan and the sea.

#9 I say we separate all of the Middle East into their own little time-out areas.

#10 Certain Protestant denominations called for a two-state "solution" in 1861: CSA & USA...

#11 I think a two state solution is possible but only if the Palestinians move out of Israel, side-by-side on the other side of the Jordan:)The Israelis should consider trading the Golan for the West Bank so they can have security in their midst when all the infighting continues and let them kill one another. Less possibility of collateral damage that way.

#12 let the Palestinians have it and we'll give the Jews the state of New Mexico. Why not? It's the same kind of climate and they don't have to worry about being killed everyday. Think of it kind of like an evacuation.

#13 Someone mentioned Churchill. In a letter, he wrote: "I created Jordan at the stroke of a pen on a Sunday afternoon." Western authorities reduced territories administered by the Hashemite Kingdom, on notice of Wahabi support for the campaign against the Ottoman Turks.

The blueprint for the Middle East was designed in the West; we should be remaking it.

#14 Lawrence mnetions a region of Arabia as being home of "the fanatical and dangerous Wahabis" bu thet is all. They don't seem to have helped against the Turks. Some Arabs say in fact they kept their nforcves and then fell over the bloodied Hashemites.

It wasn't their help againt the Turks but they being championned by the Indian section of the Secret service heade by the father of Kim Philby, the arch-traitor.

#15 The Paleo's already have their two-state solution - Gaza and the West Bank.

#16 A two-state solution is no solution. Sounds like a Jimmy Carter solution rearing its ugly head again. Legitimatizing Palestine only provides more encouragement (if they needed any encouragement) to these thugs for trying to wipe out israel. How about a two-state solution that involves moving the Palestinians to Jordan, SA, or Iran? How about encouraging Fatah and Hamas to destroy each other.

#17 let the Palestinians have it and we'll give the Jews the state of New Mexico.

Oppps.... wait, you're serious and an idiot.
