"If the Palestinians would adopt the ways of Gandhi, I think they could, in fact, make enormous changes very, very quickly. I believe in the power of individuals demonstrating peacefully."

This is a quote from Paul Wolfowitz, probably the most hawkish member of the war mongering Bush administration. Hey Paul, how about we adopt the ways of Ghandi?

The story from which this quote derives is actually a positive development. It's about how Wolfowitz is bringing together Jeiwsh and Palestinian moderates in an unofficial drive for a two-state solution to end the conflict in the Middle East.

Personally I don't think a two-state solution is going to work. An effective nation of Palestine cannot be built out of two discontinuous units. There is no great love between the people of the West Bank who were part of Jordan before 1967 and the people of Gaza who were part of Egypt.

Instead of a two state solution, I think the warring parties ought to consider a three state solution. The major problem is that whatever plan you come up there are psychos on both sides who will accept nothing but a one state solution.
