"Yes the French were too harsh and yes the Versailles treaty crushed the Germany economy. But lets not forget that Europe could have prevented WWII and stopped Hitler instead of appeasing him." Just because the mistake could have been fixed is not a reason to make the mistake in the first place. A lasting peace is one without losers, losers get ethnically cleansed. "This has proven historically false. This is not effective deterrent." "Wrong - look at the history of the Americas. Look at the history of Mexico. Look at Manifest Destiny." That's not a deterrent? It only worked against Indians because it effectively destroyed them completely, unless you want to slaught 300 million arabs, you can't do that this time. What's more, Mexico is peaceful because America is crushingly superior, not because of the threat of ethnic cleansing (which would be politically impossible). Egypt and Jordan are peaceful for the same reason. "Don't you think the constant displacement of the Jews has had something to do with their strong desire to secure their tiny little nation state. I mean they are so small its laughable while their Arabs neighbors have huge land regions." Are you saying Roma (gypsies) should be able to, I don't know, steal a chunk of Northern India (that's where they come from)? Its simple, PEOPLE WERE LIVING THERE ALREADY FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS. If that doesn't make the land yours I don't know what does. "You keep ignoring the fact that the Palestinians are determined according to stated policy to destroy Israel from the face of the planet." And colonization will help you? Only if they plan on anihilating the Palestinian nation completely. Which is, again, evil, they are civilians. "Israel is simply trying to provide security to its people and to force the Arabs to acknowledge that they have a right to their lands and are not going anywhere." Egypt and Jordan have recognised that. I understand perfectly the need for a security fence, I do NOT see how pissing off you Palestinians by destroying their homes and cleansing the land of their presence and making a little Bantustan out of Palestine is going to ever lead to peace. "Yes I know you oppose those past British actions but don't you find it a little elitist to be telling others, being a beneficiary, that their actions, which have benevolent motives, are wrong?" Racial segregation and ethnic cleansing Serb-style are not benevolent. There is no problem with the wall, there is every problem with it going over land which has been ARab for 1000 years. "Morally acceptable? Who was the aggressor? What are the Iraqis motives?" I recall America attacked Iraq, not the other way around. If Iraq had won the war, would it be OK to ethnically cleanse the US? Of course not! Victory doesn't make you allowed to do anything.
