Good fences make good neighbors

The fence is working.  Whodathunkit?  Krauthammer:

First, the more than four-year-long intifada, which left more than 1,000 Israelis and 3,000 Palestinians dead, is over. And better than that, defeated....  After a year and a half of unparalleled terror, culminating with the Passover massacre of 2002, the Israelis finally decided that they had to give up the illusion of a Palestinian peace partner and take things into their own hands. They did....  The separation fence makes it almost impossible to launch attacks into Israel. And rockets launched into Israeli towns are met by retaliatory Israeli artillery barrages that make the rocketeers rather unpopular at home. A similar equilibrium will be achieved on the West Bank when the fence is completed next year....

Keep this in mind the next time a Lefty tells you your ideas are "simplistic".  A long concrete fence achieved in months what nuanced diplomats could not in decades.  A fence, and the will to build it.

Well, now, the two aren't actually mutually exclusive. But if they USE those weapons to attack Israel, the Israelis are fully capable of nation-dismantling.
Palestine will probably suck for a long, long time. Iraq will prosper. The difference? American influence.
