IRA Terror lesson
The Politics by Terror approach to social change was brought to a focus in the early 1900's by the Irish. The final solution to the IRA Extortion Politics came in the form of a Bush-like position of carrying the counter terrorism to the Irish people themselves.
Israel is also applying the principle of civilian "eye for an eye." The British both resolved and proclaimed no quarter and no capitulation. They developed counter terror forces to directly attack suspected villians in the same mode of hit run murder. They blew up homes of suspects, even open sympathizers. Assassinated and ignored colateral effects. They intentional set a tone of atrocity for atrocity. They drove home to the whole Irish community the message that this is no way to "vote."
We ought note that "suspected terrorist" is not yet an America tactic for target practice. The open civilian support in Sunni Iraqi cities, Shiite radical neighborhoods, and PLO towns would have all been on Btitain's list for revenge. But, in fact, the US will need an education in what unabated terror really is, IMO, before they understand what Britain, the French in Algeria, and Israel had to experience.
The best thing about Bush's campaign in Iraq is simply that there was a campaign. The Israelis, for once in 50 years, will now demonstrae the effectiveness of attacking the Hamas, et al, in their homes, streets, everywhere, just the same thing they have used. Bush has made such tactics possible because Egypt, Syria, and IranMUST butt out since US troops are within m16 gun sights. Israel and the uncompromising PLO admitted Ethnic Cleansing forces can duel it out if so desired.
The civilian population of the Stateless PLO also is tasting what a bomb feels like when it hits kids and women, by accident but with due cause.
The IRA realized that it was a deadly stand-off and compronises started in the late 1900's which have basically resulted in the needed progress and sanity. That military lesson has not been learned by the Democrats, the Mike Moore's, the liberal American press... but Bush seems to have passed the mid-term exam!

No, Bush will just make the Peace March possible, the way I see it. He will restrain Iran, paralyze Syria, and bring order in Iraq so the peace in The Promised Landncan begin.
The peacemakers will be 12 monthly waves of 12,000 "Guardian Angels," continuously month after month, serving as tour guide-hospitality consultants in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The 2 billion worldwide Christian membership will be invited to come, to see, to stop the bloodshed, and to spend.
They will march peacibly into Palestinian hotels, accommodations, and even homes where welcomed as paying tourist. Direct economic benefits on the one hand, and the overture of a handshake on peace in the Holy Land with the other is the plan.
These "Angels" will themselves be tourist, setting the example of both Christian courage, and the demonstration of the precept: "love the enemy"... even to death.
Will it happen, will it work...
Zech. 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of
all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zech. 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the
families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain."To follow the rational meaning of Torah is not to adopt an ancient position and insist on silence there after.

How can I understand God, when I haven't even achieved pure virtue?
