If not for security concerns, yes, absolutely (I think). There's a small fringe of the Israeli population that wants to annex the West Bank and the Gaza Strip permanently, but they're a very small fringe. They're holding onto the areas right now for the very sensible reason that if they let go, the government that would take over would be an active sponsor of terrorism with the stated agenda of eradicating Israel. Would _you_ want a country on your border that wanted to destroy you and thought a reasonable tactic was brainwashing people into committing suicide using explosives next to kindergartens? ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
