It was all so obvious

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER is supposed to be so smart with an enormous international fan club. I remember over a year ago, brainstorming with some friends. We were trying to think of ways to wake the world up. We knew perfectly well that Disengagement would bring war and more demands, not peace, not even quiet. One of the people my friends were hoping to convince was Charles Krauthammer.

We didn't manage then, but now, he woke up. Now, in Time Magazine, he's writing that:

...Palestinian government openly committed to terrorism and to the
destruction of a member state of the U.N. openly uses terrorism to carry on its
war.

He was one of those who presumed that the Arabs had wanted a state, like other nations:

Do they begin building the state they say they want,
constructing schools and roads and hospitals? No.

Now he admits that the ultimate aim of the Arabs is the destruction of Israel.

Gaza is free of occupation, yet Gaza wages war. Why? Because this
war is not about occupation, but about Israel's very existence. The
so-called cycle will continue until the arrow is abandoned and the Palestinians
accept a compromise--or until the arrow finds its mark and Israel dies.

I'm very glad that he has finally realized this, since lots more people read his articles than read mine.
