It all sounds so nice in theory. In practice the withdrawl form Lebanon lead directly to the war during the summer of 2006 and the death and wounding of hundreds of Israelis. Our neighbors viewed it (rightly) as a sign of weakness, and the weak don't survive very long. I can tell you from personal experience as a resident of Northern Israel that the last thing that our neighbors want is peace. Those of you who disagree with me are invited to bring their spouse and children and spend the next war with me in a bomb shelter.
